Shloka 29
शोभार्थ चापरान् यूपान् काछ्चनान् भरतर्षभ । स भीम: कारयामास धर्मराजस्य शासनात्,भरतभूषण! इनके सिवा धर्मराजकी आज्ञासे भीमसेनने यज्ञकी शोभाके लिये और भी बहुत-से सुवर्णमय यूप खड़े कराये

śobhārthaṃ cāparān yūpān kāñcanān bharatarṣabha |

Vaiśampāyana disse: “Ó touro entre os Bharatas, para aumentar o esplendor do sacrifício, Bhīma—por ordem de Dharmarāja (Yudhiṣṭhira)—mandou erguer ainda mais postes sacrificiais (yūpas) de ouro.”

Educational Q&A
Even acts of grandeur in a royal sacrifice should proceed under dharmic authority and proper injunction: Bhīma’s power is shown as disciplined service to Dharmarāja’s command, aligning splendour with order and legitimacy.
During Yudhiṣṭhira’s Aśvamedha, additional golden yūpas are set up to enhance the ritual’s magnificence; Bhīma arranges their erection specifically because Yudhiṣṭhira orders it.
