Yudhiṣṭhira’s Lament on Kāla and Daiva after Draupadī’s Recovery (आरण्यक पर्व, अध्याय २५७)
ते त्वर्चिता यथाशास्त्रं यथाविधि यथाक्रमम् | मुदा परमया युक्ता: प्रीताश्चापि नरेश्वरा:,उन सबकी शास्त्रीय विधिसे यथोचित सेवा-पूजा की गयी। इससे वे नरेशगण अत्यन्त प्रसन्न हो मन-ही-मन आनन्दका अनुभव करने लगे
te tv arcitā yathāśāstraṃ yathāvidhi yathākramam | mudā paramayā yuktāḥ prītāś cāpi nareśvarāḥ ||
ಅವರನ್ನು ಶಾಸ್ತ್ರಾನುಸಾರ, ವಿಧಿವಿಧಾನಗಳಂತೆ, ಯಥಾಕ್ರಮವಾಗಿ ಸತ್ಕರಿಸಲಾಯಿತು. ಅದರಿಂದ ಆ ನರೆಶ್ವರರು ಪರಮಾನಂದದಿಂದ ತುಂಬಿ ಸಂತೋಷಗೊಂಡು, ಮನಸ್ಸಿನೊಳಗೆ ಆಳವಾದ ತೃಪ್ತಿಯನ್ನು ಅನುಭವಿಸಿದರು.

Educational Q&A
Dharma is expressed through correct honoring of guests and superiors: service and worship should follow śāstric guidance, proper procedure, and appropriate order. When conduct is regulated by vidhi and krama, it produces harmony and genuine satisfaction in those honored.
Vaiśampāyana reports that the assembled kings were received and honored with due ritual service exactly as prescribed. Because of this proper reception, the rulers became pleased and experienced inner joy.
