Shloka 7
श्रीभगवानुवाच सम्यग् व्यवसितं राजन् भवता शत्रुकर्शन । कल्याणी येन ते कीर्तिर्लोकाननु भविष्यति ॥ ७ ॥
śrī-bhagavān uvāca samyag vyavasitaṁ rājan bhavatā śatru-karśana kalyāṇī yena te kīrtir lokān anubhaviṣyati
Der Höchste Herr sprach: „O König, Bezwinger der Feinde, dein Entschluss ist vollkommen; dadurch wird dein segensreicher Ruhm sich in allen Welten verbreiten.“
Lord Kṛṣṇa here concurs with King Yudhiṣṭhira’s decision that the Rājasūya sacrifice should be performed. The Lord further agrees that there is nothing unfair in the fact that one result is achieved by those who worship Him, and another by those who do not. The great Bhāgavatam commentators point out that by addressing King Yudhiṣṭhira as śatru-karśana, “tormentor of enemies,” Lord Kṛṣṇa is imparting to him the potency to conquer all the enemy kings. Thus Kṛṣṇa predicted that King Yudhiṣṭhira’s noble fame would spread to all the worlds, and in fact it has.
