राजसूयविचारः — Deliberation on the Rajasuya and the Summoning of Kṛṣṇa
ये चान्ये च महीपाला राजसूयं महाक्रतुम् । यजसन्ते ते सहेन्द्रेण मोदन्ते भरतर्षभ,भरतकुलभूषण! दूसरे भी जो भूपाल राजसूय नामक महायज्ञका अनुष्ठान करते हैं, वे देवराज इन्द्रके साथ रहकर आनन्द भोगते हैं
ye cānye ca mahīpālā rājasūyaṃ mahākratum | yajante te sahendreṇa modante bharatarṣabha ||
ਹੇ ਭਾਰਤਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਸ੍ਰੇਸ਼ਠ! ਹੋਰ ਜੋ ਭੂਪਾਲ ਵੀ ਰਾਜਸੂਯ ਨਾਮਕ ਮਹਾਕ੍ਰਤੂ ਨੂੰ ਵਿਧੀ-ਪੂਰਵਕ ਕਰਦੇ ਹਨ, ਉਹ ਇੰਦਰ ਦੇ ਸੰਗ ਰਹਿ ਕੇ ਆਨੰਦ ਮਾਣਦੇ ਹਨ।

The verse links righteous royal ritual (the Rājasūya) with the accrual of merit: kings who perform the great consecration sacrifice according to dharma attain joy in the heavenly sphere, symbolized by companionship with Indra.
Nārada is describing the fruit of the Rājasūya: not only a particular king, but other rulers as well who undertake this major rite are said to enjoy heavenly happiness with Indra, reinforcing the prestige and spiritual consequence of the sacrifice.
