Jarā’s Account and the Enthronement of Jarāsandha (जरासंधोत्पत्तिः अभिषेकश्च)
गड्ायमुनयोर्म ध्ये मूर्तिमानिव सागर: । जब वे दोनों पत्नियोंके बीच विराजमान होते, उस समय ऐसा जान पड़ता, मानो गंगा और यमुनाके बीचमें मूर्तिमान् समुद्र सुशोभित हो रहा है
gaṅgāyamunayor madhye mūrtimān iva sāgaraḥ |
جب وہ اپنی دونوں ملکہوں کے درمیان درخشاں ہو کر بیٹھتے تو یوں معلوم ہوتا گویا گنگا اور یمنا کے بیچ مجسم سمندر ہی جلوہ گر ہے۔
कृष्ण उवाच

The verse uses a grand simile to present ideal kingship: true majesty is not mere display but a centered, harmonious presence—like the ocean’s vastness held between two sacred rivers—suggesting balance, dignity, and auspicious order.
Kṛṣṇa describes a royal scene in which a king sits between his two queens; the onlookers perceive him as extraordinarily splendid, comparable to the embodied ocean between the Gaṅgā and Yamunā.
