Adhyāya 203 — Tilottamā-sṛṣṭiḥ
Creation and Commissioning of Tilottamā
तथा द्रुपदपुत्राणां सर्वेषां भरतर्षभ । पाण्डवानां च सर्वेषां कुन्त्या युक्तानि यानि च,भरतश्रेष्ठ! ट्रपदके सभी पुत्रों, समस्त पाण्डवों और कुन्तीके लिये भी जो उपयुक्त आभूषण आदि हों, उन्हें भी वह अर्पित करे
tathā drupadaputrāṇāṃ sarveṣāṃ bharatarṣabha | pāṇḍavānāṃ ca sarveṣāṃ kuntyā yuktāni yāni ca ||
Bhīṣma sprach: „Ebenso, o Stier unter den Bhāratas, soll er auch die passenden Schmuckstücke und dergleichen darbringen, wie sie allen Söhnen Drupadas, allen Pāṇḍavas und auch Kuntī gebühren.“

Educational Q&A
The verse underscores dharmic propriety in royal dealings: gifts should be fitting (yuktāni) to the recipients’ status and relationships, extending fairness and respect to all parties—Drupada’s sons, the Pāṇḍavas, and Kuntī—so that social bonds and honor are upheld.
Bhīṣma is giving counsel about what should be offered—specifically, that appropriate ornaments and related gifts be presented not only to one side but also to Drupada’s sons, all the Pāṇḍavas, and Kuntī, indicating a comprehensive and respectful distribution of presents.
