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 ||
اس نے وہ سلطنت دھرتراشٹر، گاندھاری اور وِدُر کے سپرد کر دی—گویا اُن کی نگرانی میں رکھ دی—اور راجا یُدھشٹھِر تندرست و ثابت قدم ہو کر امن و آسودگی سے رہنے لگا۔

Educational Q&A
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.
