अर्जुनदुःखहेतुप्रश्नः — Inquiry into the cause of Arjuna’s recurring hardship
Book 14, Chapter 89
व्यास: सशिष्यो भगवान् वर्धयामास तं नृपम् । इस प्रकार इन्द्रके समान तेजस्वी राजा युधिष्ठिरके उस यज्ञको समाप्त करके शिष्योंसहित भगवान् व्यासने उन्हें बधाई दी--अभ्युदयसूचक आशीर्वाद दिया
Vyāsaḥ saśiṣyo bhagavān vardhayāmāsa taṃ nṛpam | indrasamaṃ tejasvinaṃ rājānaṃ yudhiṣṭhiram aśvamedhayajñaṃ samāpya saśiṣyaiḥ saha bhagavān vyāsaḥ abhinandya abhudayasūcakaṃ āśīrvādaṃ dadau |
ヴァイシャンパーヤナは語った。インドラのごとく輝くユディシュティラ王が、アシュヴァメーダの大祭を滞りなく成就したとき、尊き聖仙ヴィヤーサは弟子たちを伴い王を讃えて礼を尽くし、吉祥の祝福を授けてその歓びと威光をいよいよ増し加えた。この場面は、正しき王権が力のみで確かめられるのではなく、ダルマにかなう聖なる務めの完遂と、賢者の加護によってこそ確証されることを示している。

Educational Q&A
Dharma is validated through right completion of duty: a king’s glory is not only conquest or authority, but the disciplined fulfillment of sacred and social obligations, confirmed by the blessings of realized sages.
After Yudhiṣṭhira completes the Aśvamedha sacrifice, Vyāsa arrives with his disciples, congratulates the king, and bestows auspicious benedictions that signify prosperity and rightful success.
