ततः स कुरुराजस्य क्रतुः सर्वसमृद्धिमान् । यूनां प्रीतिकरो राजन् स बभौ विपुलौजस:,तदनन्तर महातेजस्वी कुरुराज युधिष्ठिरका वह सम्पूर्ण समृद्धियोंसे भरा-पूरा राजसूययज्ञ तरुण राजाओंकी प्रसन्नताको बढ़ाता हुआ अनुपम शोभा पाने लगा
tataḥ sa kururājasya kratuḥ sarvasamṛddhimān | yūnāṁ prītikaro rājan sa babhau vipulaujasaḥ ||
അതിനുശേഷം കുരുരാജൻ യുധിഷ്ഠിരന്റെ ആ രാജസൂയയാഗം സർവ്വസമൃദ്ധിയാൽ സമ്പന്നമായി, മഹാതേജസ്സോടെ ദീപ്തമായി. ഹേ രാജൻ, യുവരാജാക്കന്മാരെ ആനന്ദിപ്പിച്ചുകൊണ്ട് അതുല്യ മഹിമയോടെ അത് ശോഭിച്ചു.
