अरण्यकपर्व — मार्कण्डेयकथिते रामविजयः, सीताशुद्धिः, अयोध्याप्रत्यागमनवर्णनम्
Rāma’s victory, Sītā’s vindication, and return to Ayodhyā as told by Mārkaṇḍeya
विमान पुष्पकं नाम कामगं च ददौ प्रभु: । यक्षाणामाधिपत्यं च राजराजत्वमेव च
vimānaṁ puṣpakaṁ nāma kāmagaṁ ca dadau prabhuḥ | yakṣāṇām ādhipatyaṁ ca rājarājatvam eva ca ||
मार्कंडेय म्हणाले—प्रभूने त्यांना पुष्पक नावाचे, इच्छेनुसार गमन करणारे विमान दिले. तसेच यक्षांचे अधिपत्य आणि ‘राजराज’ ही पदवीही प्रदान केली.

Educational Q&A
Authority and prosperity are portrayed as legitimate when conferred within cosmic order: divine sanction (Brahmā’s boon) establishes Kubera’s rightful sovereignty, suggesting that power should be grounded in dharmic authorization rather than mere force.
Mārkaṇḍeya narrates how Kubera received major boons: the wish-moving Puṣpaka aerial car, overlordship of the Yakṣas, and the exalted title ‘Rājarāja,’ marking his elevation as the preeminent royal figure among wealth-associated beings.
