भ्रातृभि: सहितो राजा चतुर्भिरधिकं बभौ । प्रयुज्यमानैर्विततो वेदैरिव महाध्वर:,जैसे यथावसर उपयोगमें लाये जानेवाले चारों वेदोंके द्वारा विस्तारपूर्वक आरम्भ किया हुआ महायज्ञ शोभा पाता है, उसी प्रकार अपनी आज्ञाके अधीन रहनेवाले चारों भाइयोंके साथ राजा युधिष्ठिर अत्यन्त सुशोभित होते थे

bhrātṛbhiḥ sahito rājā caturbhir adhikaṃ babhau | prayujyamānair vitato vedair iva mahādhvaraḥ ||

The narrator describes Yudhiṣṭhira’s heightened splendor and stature when he is accompanied by his four brothers, using a simile of a grand Vedic sacrifice flourishing through the well-timed employment of the four Vedas.
