अरण्यकपर्व — मार्कण्डेयकथिते रामविजयः, सीताशुद्धिः, अयोध्याप्रत्यागमनवर्णनम्
Rāma’s victory, Sītā’s vindication, and return to Ayodhyā as told by Mārkaṇḍeya
विमान पुष्पकं नाम कामगं च ददौ प्रभु: । यक्षाणामाधिपत्यं च राजराजत्वमेव च
vimānaṁ puṣpakaṁ nāma kāmagaṁ ca dadau prabhuḥ | yakṣāṇām ādhipatyaṁ ca rājarājatvam eva ca ||
مارکنڈیہ نے کہا—پرَبھُو نے اسے ‘پُشپک’ نام کا وِمان عطا کیا جو خواہش کے مطابق جہاں چاہے جا سکتا تھا۔ نیز اسے یَکشوں کی سرداری اور ‘راجراج’—بادشاہوں کا بادشاہ—کا لقب بھی بخشا۔
मार्कण्डेय उवाच
Educational Q&A
Authority and prosperity are portrayed as legitimate when conferred within cosmic order: divine sanction (Brahmā’s boon) establishes Kubera’s rightful sovereignty, suggesting that power should be grounded in dharmic authorization rather than mere force.
Mārkaṇḍeya narrates how Kubera received major boons: the wish-moving Puṣpaka aerial car, overlordship of the Yakṣas, and the exalted title ‘Rājarāja,’ marking his elevation as the preeminent royal figure among wealth-associated beings.
