Adhyāya 42 (Śānti Parva): Śrāddha, Aurdhvadaihika Rites, and Royal Welfare Measures
उद्दिश्योद्दिश्य तेषां च चक्रे राजौर्ध्वदेहिकम् । इनके सिवा जो दूसरे भूपाल थे, जिनके सुहृद् या सम्बन्धी जीवित नहीं थे, उन सबके उद्देश्यसे राजा युधिष्ठिरने श्राद्ध-कर्म किया
uddiśyoddiśya teṣāṁ ca cakre rājordhvadehikam |
ヴァイシャンパーヤナは語った。王ユディシュティラは彼らを一人ひとり思い起こし、彼らのためにも葬後の儀礼（シュラーダッダ śrāddha）を執り行った。とりわけ、戦に倒れ、供養をなすべき友も親族も生き残らなかった他国の王たちのためにである。かくして王は、己が陣営を超えてダルマの責を広げ、戦禍ののち亡者を偏りなく弔った。

Educational Q&A
Even after victory, a ruler’s dharma includes honoring the dead and ensuring proper rites for those who have no one left to perform them. Ethical responsibility extends beyond one’s own allies to all who suffered in the conflict.
In the aftermath of the great war, Yudhiṣṭhira arranges and performs ūrdhvadehika (śrāddha/post-funeral) rites, naming the departed individually, including fallen kings who lacked surviving relatives or friends to conduct the ceremonies.
