## Chapter Fifty-Five
**Fast and Slow Meter**
Then, adorned with garments, ornaments, garlands, and unguents sent by Kubera, the young Nemikumar, surrounded by renowned kings, moved with the graceful gait of an intoxicated elephant. He went to the assembly called Kusumachitra, filled with countless Yadavas like Balarama and Narayana. The kings, rising from their seats, went forward and bowed to him. Krishna also came forward to welcome him. Then, together with Krishna, he adorned the seat. The throne, presided over by Krishna and Nemikumar, shone with a splendor equal to that of two Indras or two lions.
In the midst of the assembly, Nemikumar, who drank the nectar of the words of the noble ones, and who was adorned with great valor and physical prowess, spent a moment with Krishna, worshipped by many kings, whose radiance eclipsed all.
Then, when the discussion of the strong began, some praised Arjuna, some praised Yudhishthira, who remained steadfast in battle, some praised the valiant Bhima, and some praised the arrogant Sahadeva and Nakula. Some said that Balarama was the strongest, while others said that Krishna, who lifted the invincible Govardhana mountain and who, eager to show his strength, held a bow to displace the group of kings from their seats, was the strongest.
Hearing such words spoken by the kings who had come to the assembly, the Lord, with a playful gaze, looked towards Nemikumar and said, "In the three worlds, there is no one equal to him."
