Śiśupāla-nigraha-prastāva: Yudhiṣṭhira’s Conciliation and Bhīṣma’s Defense of Kṛṣṇa
Book 2, Chapter 35
हिरण्यस्य सुवर्णस्य रत्नानां चान्ववेक्षणे | दक्षिणानां च वै दाने कृपं राजा न्न्ययोजयत्,उत्तम वर्णके स्वर्ण तथा रत्नोंको परखने, रखने और दक्षिणा देनेके कार्यमें राजाने कृपाचार्यकी नियुक्ति की। इसी प्रकार दूसरे-दूसरे श्रेष्ठ पुरुषोंको यथायोग्य भिन्न-भिन्न कार्योमें लगाया। नकुलके द्वारा सम्मानपूर्वक बुलाकर लाये हुए बाह्लिक, धृतराष्ट्र, सोमदत्त और जयद्रथ वहाँ घरके मालिककी तरह सुखपूर्वक रहने और इच्छानुसार विचरने लगे
vaiśampāyana uvāca | hiraṇyasya suvarṇasya ratnānāṃ cānvavekṣaṇe | dakṣiṇānāṃ ca vai dāne kṛpaṃ rājā nyayojayat |
Vaiśampāyana said: The king appointed Kṛpa to supervise the inspection and custody of gold, fine gold, and gems, and also the distribution of honoraria and gifts. Thus, other eminent men too were assigned, each according to his fitness, to different duties. Meanwhile, Bāhlīka, Dhṛtarāṣṭra, Somadatta, and Jayadratha—brought respectfully by Nakula—stayed there comfortably like masters of the house, moving about as they wished.
