युधिष्ठिरस्य राज्याभिषेकः | Yudhiṣṭhira’s Royal Consecration
राजा युधिष्ठिरको बीचमें करके महामनस्वी भीमसेन और अर्जुन दो मणिमय मनोहर पीठोंपर विराजमान हुए ।। दान्ते सिंहासने शुभ्रे जाम्बूनदवि भूषिते । पृथापि सहदेवेन सहास्ते नकुलेन च,एक ओर हाथी दाँतके बने हुए स्वर्णविभूषित शुभ्र सिंहासनपर नकुल और सहदेवके साथ माता कुन्ती भी बैठ गयीं
rājā yudhiṣṭhirako bīcameṃ karake mahāmanasvī bhīmasena aura arjuna do maṇimaya manohara pīṭhoṃpara virājamāna hue || dānte siṃhāsane śubhre jāmbūnadavibhūṣite | pṛthāpi sahadevena sahāste nakulena ca |
Sinabi ni Vaiśampāyana: Inilagay si Haring Yudhiṣṭhira sa gitna, at ang dakilang-loob na si Bhīmasena at si Arjuna ay umupo sa dalawang kaakit-akit na trono na inukitan at inlay ng mga hiyas. Sa isang panig, sa maliwanag na trono na yari sa garing at pinalamutian ng ginto ng Jāmbūnada, umupo rin si Pṛthā (Kuntī) kasama nina Nakula at Sahadeva.

The verse highlights dharmic order expressed through seating and protocol: the rightful king is centered, brothers support him, and the revered mother is honored with a distinguished seat—symbolizing harmony, legitimacy, and respect after the turmoil of war.
A formal assembly is being arranged: Yudhiṣṭhira is placed centrally, Bhīma and Arjuna sit on gem-studded seats, and Kuntī sits to one side on an ivory, gold-adorned throne with Nakula and Sahadeva.
