Ang mga kasangkapang pangyajña ay yari sa ginto, gaya ng sinaunang Rājasūya na minsang isinagawa ni Varuṇa. Dumating si Indra at ang mga tagapangalaga ng mga daigdig kasama sina Brahmā at Śiva; ang mga Siddha at Gandharva na may mga kasama; ang mga Vidyādhara; ang malalaking ahas; ang mga muni; Yakṣa at Rākṣasa; mga ibong makalangit; Kinnara; Cāraṇa; at ang mga hari sa lupa at kanilang mga reyna—lahat ay inanyayahan at nagtipon mula sa bawat panig sa Rājasūya ni Haring Yudhiṣṭhira, anak ni Pāṇḍu. Hindi sila namangha sa karangyaan, sapagkat ito’y angkop sa isang deboto ni Panginoong Kṛṣṇa.
Mahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira was universally famous as a great devotee of Lord Kṛṣṇa, and thus nothing was impossible for him.
FAQs
Because Yudhiṣṭhira’s Rājasūya was empowered by devotion to Kṛṣṇa; the guardians of the universe honored a sacrifice centered on dharma and blessed by the Lord’s presence.
The verse teaches that true auspiciousness and honor naturally follow bhakti—when Kṛṣṇa is pleased, even cosmic rulers and celestial beings participate and support the devotee’s righteous endeavors.
Prioritize devotion and integrity over display: when actions are aligned with dharma and offered to Kṛṣṇa, support, clarity, and the right resources come in a way that is genuinely auspicious.
