Śiśupāla-nigraha-prastāva: Yudhiṣṭhira’s Conciliation and Bhīṣma’s Defense of Kṛṣṇa
Book 2, Chapter 35
एवमुक्त्वा स तानू सर्वान् दीक्षित: पाण्डवाग्रज: । युयोज स यथायोगमधिकारेष्वनन्तरम्,यज्ञदीक्षित युधिष्ठिरने ऐसा कहकर उन सबको यथायोग्य अधिकारोंमें लगाया
evam uktvā sa tānū sarvān dīkṣitaḥ pāṇḍavāgrajaḥ | yuyoja sa yathāyogam adhikāreṣv anantaram ||
ഇങ്ങനെ പറഞ്ഞ ശേഷം, യജ്ഞദീക്ഷിതനായ പാണ്ഡവന്മാരുടെ അഗ്രജൻ യുധിഷ്ഠിരൻ അവരെ എല്ലാവരെയും ഉടൻ തന്നെ യോഗ്യതാനുസാരം യഥോചിതമായ അധികാരങ്ങളിലും കർത്തവ്യങ്ങളിലും നിയോഗിച്ചു।

Educational Q&A
Dharma in leadership is shown through assigning duties according to merit and suitability, especially in sacred or public undertakings; right order and prompt execution protect both ethical integrity and communal welfare.
After speaking to the assembled persons, Yudhiṣṭhira—already under the discipline of sacrificial consecration—immediately organizes the participants by appointing each to an appropriate role in the forthcoming ritual arrangements.
