तत्र राजानमासीनं ददर्श जनमेजयम् । वृतं सदस्यैर्बहुभिददेवैरिव पुरन्दरम्,वहाँ पहुँचकर उन्होंने सिंहासनपर बैठे हुए राजा जनमेजयको देखा, जो बहुत-से सभासदोंद्वारा इस प्रकार घिरे हुए थे, मानो देवराज इन्द्र देवताओंसे घिरे हुए हों
Transliteration
tatra rājānam āsīnaṃ dadarśa janamejayam | vṛtaṃ sadasyair bahubhir devair iva purandaram ||
Translation
There he beheld King Janamejaya seated upon his throne, surrounded by many members of the royal assembly—like Indra, the slayer of Pura, encircled by the gods. The scene underscores the ideal of a king whose authority is exercised in the presence of counsel and public witness, not in isolation.
