A king upholding rājadharma assigns responsibilities according to competence (yogyatā), ensuring that each duty is performed by the most suitable person; ethical governance depends on proper placement and accountability.
After becoming settled and pleased, Yudhiṣṭhira organizes administration by appointing various people to the specific tasks he deems them qualified to perform, indicating a transition from turmoil to orderly rule.
