Jarāsandha-vadha-upadeśa and the Departure toward Magadha (जरासन्धवधोपदेशः मागधप्रस्थानं च)
तस्य बालस्य यत् कृत्यं तच्चकार नृपस्तदा । आज्ञापयच्च राक्षस्या मगधेषु महोत्सवम्
tasya bālasya yat kṛtyaṃ tac cakāra nṛpas tadā | ājñāpayac ca rākṣasyā magadheṣu mahotsavam ||
当时,国王为那孩子举行了一切应行之礼——如诞生礼等诸般必要的祭仪(saṃskāra)——又下令在摩揭陀全境举行盛大的庆典,以奉祀被视为家宅守护神的罗刹女阇罗(Jarā)。

A king’s dharma includes ensuring that prescribed saṃskāras are duly performed and that communal religious observances are organized in a way that stabilizes society and acknowledges protective powers associated with the realm.
After the child’s birth, the king completes the necessary birth-rites and orders a major festival in Magadha honoring Jarā, the rākṣasī connected with the child’s welfare and regarded as a protective/household deity.
