Shloka 14
Yudhiṣṭhira’s Procession, Encampment (Niveśa), and Auspicious Timing for Ritual Action
तद् वित्तं देवदेवेशं तस्यैवानुचरांश्ष तान्
tad vittaṃ devadeveśaṃ tasyaivānucarāṃś ca tān
Vaiśampāyana dijo: «Aquella riqueza, y aquellos servidores que le pertenecían sólo a él, fueron entonces ofrecidos/asignados al Señor de los dioses—acto que muestra que la posesión material y el servicio quedan, en última instancia, subordinados a la suprema autoridad divina».

Educational Q&A
Wealth and human service (attendants) are portrayed as transferable and ultimately answerable to a higher moral-divine order; rightful action treats possessions as stewardship rather than absolute ownership.
The narrator indicates that the referenced wealth and the person’s attendants are being directed toward or placed under the authority of “Devadeveśa,” signaling a formal offering/assignment consistent with the ritual and royal context of the Aśvamedhika section.
