Rājasūyābhiṣeka-darśana: Duryodhana’s Observation of the Consecration
शैक्यं रुक्मसहस्रस्य बहुरत्नविभूषितम् । शड्खप्रवरमादाय वासुदेवो5भिषिक्तवान्
śaikyaṃ rukma-sahasrasya bahu-ratna-vibhūṣitam | śaṅkha-pravaram ādāya vāsudevo 'bhiṣiktavān |
Duryodhana sagte: „Mit einer vortrefflichen Muschel in der Hand vollzog Vāsudeva die Weihe, indem er Meerwasser verwendete, das in einem prächtigen Gefäß aufbewahrt war, aus tausend Teilen Gold gefertigt und mit vielerlei Edelsteinen geschmückt.“

Ritual splendor and rightful sovereignty can provoke envy in the unrighteous; the ethical warning is that resentment toward dharmic success, rather than self-restraint and discernment, becomes a seed of adharma and conflict.
Duryodhana describes the ceremonial consecration connected with Yudhiṣṭhira’s royal elevation: Kṛṣṇa takes an excellent conch and performs the abhiṣeka using sea-water kept in a richly jeweled golden vessel, highlighting the grandeur that fuels Duryodhana’s jealousy.
