Legitimate rule is not merely possession of power but the ethical acceptance of responsibility (rājya-bhāra) supported by the virtuous (sadbhiḥ) and guided by dharma; honour from the good signals social consent and a return to righteous order.
After being respectfully welcomed and honoured by virtuous people, Yudhiṣṭhira—called Dharmarāja—formally takes up the governance of the vast kingdom, accompanied by his well-wishers and allies, marking the transition into stable rule in the Śānti Parva context.
