Yudhiṣṭhira’s Post-Accession Settlements and Approach to Vāsudeva (युधिष्ठिरस्य राज्यस्थापनं वासुदेवाभिगमनं च)
धृतराष्ट्राय तद् राज्यं गान्धार्य विदुराय च । निवेद्य सुस्थवद् राजा सुखमास्ते युधिछिर:
vaiśampāyana uvāca | dhṛtarāṣṭrāya tad rājyaṃ gāndhāryai vidurāya ca | nivedya susthavad rājā sukham āste yudhiṣṭhiraḥ ||
அந்த அரசை திருதராஷ்டிரன், காந்தாரி, விதுரர் ஆகியோரிடம் ஒப்படைத்து—அவர்களின் பராமரிப்பில் வைத்ததுபோல்—அரசன் யுதிஷ்டிரன் நலமுடன் அமைதியாக இன்புற வாழ்ந்தான்.
वैशम्पायन उवाच
True stability in rulership comes from dharma: honoring elders and wise counselors, discharging responsibility without egoistic clinging, and cultivating peace through service and restraint after conflict.
After the war, Yudhiṣṭhira places the practical care of the kingdom in the hands of Dhṛtarāṣṭra, Gāndhārī, and Vidura, and by dedicating himself to their service and guidance he becomes composed and lives in peace.
