Yudhiṣṭhira’s Rājasūya Resolve and the Slaying of Jarāsandha
हाहाकारो महानासीन्निहते मगधेश्वरे । पूजयामासतुर्भीमं परिरभ्य जयाच्युतौ ॥ ४५ ॥
hāhā-kāro mahān āsīn nihate magadheśvare pūjayām āsatur bhīmaṁ parirabhya jayācyatau
ولما قُتل سيد مَغَدها ارتفع عويل عظيم؛ بينما عانق أرجونا وكريشنا، الأچيوتَ الذي لا يسقط، بهيما مهنِّئَين له.
FAQs
This verse states that when Jarasandha, the king of Magadha, was slain, a great lamentation arose, and Krishna (Achyuta) and Arjuna honored Bhima by embracing him for the victory.
Because Bhima accomplished the difficult task of defeating Jarasandha, removing a major obstacle to Yudhishthira’s righteous rule and the Rajasuya sacrifice; Krishna and Arjuna acknowledged his valor and service to dharma.
When a hard, righteous duty is completed, acknowledge and honor those who carried the main burden—gratitude and recognition strengthen unity and inspire continued service.
