शान्ति पर्व (अध्याय 38): युधिष्ठिरस्य राजधर्म-जिज्ञासा तथा भीष्मोपसर्पण-प्रस्तावना | Shanti Parva Chapter 38: Yudhishthira’s Inquiry into Rajadharma and the Prelude to Approaching Bhishma
स संवृतस्तदा विप्रैराशीर्वादविवक्षुभि: । शुशुभे विमलश्नन्द्रस्तारागणवृतो यथा,जैसे तारोंसे घिरे हुए निर्मल चन्द्रमाकी शोभा होती है, उसी प्रकार आशीर्वाद देनेकी इच्छावाले ब्राह्मणोंसे घिरे हुए राजा युधिष्ठिरकी उस समय बड़ी शोभा हो रही थी
sa saṁvṛtas tadā viprair āśīrvāda-vivakṣubhiḥ | śuśubhe vimalaś candras tārā-gaṇa-vṛto yathā ||
នៅពេលនោះ ព្រះអង្គត្រូវបានព័ទ្ធជុំវិញដោយព្រាហ្មណ៍ ដែលប្រាថ្នាចង់ប្រសិទ្ធិពរ; ព្រះអង្គភ្លឺរលោងយ៉ាងពិសេស ដូចព្រះចន្ទស្អាតបរិសុទ្ធ ដែលមានហ្វូងផ្កាយព័ទ្ធជុំវិញ។

Educational Q&A
Righteous kingship is strengthened by the goodwill and blessings of the learned and virtuous; moral authority and social harmony are portrayed as arising when rulers are aligned with dharma and honored by brāhmaṇas.
Vaiśampāyana describes the king (contextually Yudhiṣṭhira) being surrounded by brāhmaṇas eager to pronounce blessings, and compares his radiance in that assembly to the pure moon encircled by stars.
