ततो हिमवता दत्ते मणिप्रवरशोभिते । दिव्यरत्नाचिते पुण्ये निषण्णं परमासने
tato himavatā datte maṇipravaraśobhite | divyaratnācite puṇye niṣaṇṇaṃ paramāsane ||
Kemudian, di atas singgahsana tertinggi yang dianugerahkan oleh Himavat—berseri dengan permata terbaik, bertatahkan ratna ilahi, dan dianggap penuh berkat—baginda pun duduk di takhta yang paling luhur itu. Naratif ini menegaskan martabat diraja dan keabsahan suci walau di tengah suasana perang yang muram, seolah-olah mengingatkan bahawa kuasa wajar dijalankan dari asas yang ditahbiskan dan teratur, bukan semata-mata daripada kekerasan.

The verse highlights that legitimate rule and decisive action should rest on an auspicious, consecrated foundation—symbolized by the sacred, jewel-adorned throne—rather than on raw violence alone, even in wartime.
Vaiśaṃpāyana describes someone taking his seat upon a supreme throne said to be bestowed by Himavat, richly decorated with gems and divine jewels, marking a formal, elevated moment in the unfolding events.
