Book 2, Chapter 35

Devanagari script

राज्ञां तु प्रतिपूजार्थ संजयं स न्ययोजयत्‌ | कृताकृतपरिज्ञाने भीष्मद्रोणी महामती

Transliteration

rājñāṃ tu pratipūjārthaṃ saṃjayaṃ sa nyayojayat | kṛtākṛtaparijñāne bhīṣmadroṇī mahāmatī ||

Translation

قال فايشَمبايانا: ولأجل إكرام الملوك المجتمعين وخدمتهم على الوجه اللائق، عيَّن دَهرماراجا سَنْجَيا. وأما الإشراف على ما أُنجز وما بقي غير مُنجَز—أي التدقيق الحصيف في الواجبات والترتيبات—فقد أُسند إلى بهيشما ودرونا، وهما من عِظام ذوي الرأي.
