Śiśupāla-nigraha-prastāva: Yudhiṣṭhira’s Conciliation and Bhīṣma’s Defense of Kṛṣṇa
Book 2, Chapter 35
राज्ञां तु प्रतिपूजार्थ संजयं स न्ययोजयत् | कृताकृतपरिज्ञाने भीष्मद्रोणी महामती,राजाओंकी सेवा और सत्कारके लिये धर्मराजने संजयको नियुक्त किया। कौन काम हुआ और कौन नहीं हुआ, इसकी देख-रेखका काम महाबुद्धिमान् भीष्म और द्रोणाचार्यको मिला
rājñāṃ tu pratipūjārthaṃ saṃjayaṃ sa nyayojayat | kṛtākṛtaparijñāne bhīṣmadroṇī mahāmatī ||
Vaiśampāyana sprach: Um die versammelten Könige gebührend zu ehren und zu bedienen, setzte Dharmarāja Saṃjaya ein. Die Aufsicht darüber, was getan war und was noch zu tun blieb—die sorgfältige Prüfung von Pflichten und Vorbereitungen—übertrug er den hochgesinnten Bhīṣma und Droṇa.

Educational Q&A
Righteous rule is shown through orderly delegation: honoring guests and allies is a dharmic obligation, and public duties should be supervised by wise elders who can verify what is completed and what remains, ensuring accountability and propriety.
During the royal assembly, Yudhiṣṭhira organizes service and reception for visiting kings by appointing Saṃjaya to manage their honor and attendance, while Bhīṣma and Droṇa are tasked with overseeing and checking the completion of arrangements and responsibilities.
