Los utensilios del sacrificio eran de oro, como en el antiguo Rājasūya celebrado por el señor Varuṇa. Indra y los regentes de los mundos, junto con Brahmā y Śiva; los Siddhas y Gandharvas con sus séquitos; los Vidyādharas; las grandes serpientes; los sabios; Yakṣas y Rākṣasas; aves celestiales; Kinnaras; Cāraṇas; y los reyes de la tierra con sus reinas: todos fueron invitados y acudieron desde todas direcciones al Rājasūya del rey Yudhiṣṭhira, hijo de Pāṇḍu. No se asombraron de la opulencia, pues era plenamente apropiada para un devoto de Śrī Kṛṣṇa.

FAQs

Because Yudhiṣṭhira’s Rājasūya was empowered by devotion to Kṛṣṇa; the guardians of the universe honored a sacrifice centered on dharma and blessed by the Lord’s presence.

The verse teaches that true auspiciousness and honor naturally follow bhakti—when Kṛṣṇa is pleased, even cosmic rulers and celestial beings participate and support the devotee’s righteous endeavors.

Prioritize devotion and integrity over display: when actions are aligned with dharma and offered to Kṛṣṇa, support, clarity, and the right resources come in a way that is genuinely auspicious.
