अरण्यकपर्व — मार्कण्डेयकथिते रामविजयः, सीताशुद्धिः, अयोध्याप्रत्यागमनवर्णनम्
Rāma’s victory, Sītā’s vindication, and return to Ayodhyā as told by Mārkaṇḍeya
विमान पुष्पकं नाम कामगं च ददौ प्रभु: । यक्षाणामाधिपत्यं च राजराजत्वमेव च,साथ ही उन्हें इच्छानुसार विचरनेवाला पुष्पक नामका एक विमान दिया। इसके सिवा ब्रह्माजीने कुबेरको यक्षोंका स्वामी बना दिया और उन्हें 'राजराज'की पदवी प्रदान की
vimānaṁ puṣpakaṁ nāma kāmagaṁ ca dadau prabhuḥ | yakṣāṇām ādhipatyaṁ ca rājarājatvam eva ca ||
Markandeya berkata: “Sang Penguasa juga menganugerahkan kepadanya kereta udara bernama Puṣpaka, yang dapat bergerak ke mana pun sesuai kehendak. Ia pun memberinya kedaulatan atas para Yakṣa serta kedudukan ‘Rājarāja’—raja di atas para raja.”

Educational Q&A
Authority and prosperity are portrayed as legitimate when conferred within cosmic order: divine sanction (Brahmā’s boon) establishes Kubera’s rightful sovereignty, suggesting that power should be grounded in dharmic authorization rather than mere force.
Mārkaṇḍeya narrates how Kubera received major boons: the wish-moving Puṣpaka aerial car, overlordship of the Yakṣas, and the exalted title ‘Rājarāja,’ marking his elevation as the preeminent royal figure among wealth-associated beings.
