Śiśupāla-nigraha-prastāva: Yudhiṣṭhira’s Conciliation and Bhīṣma’s Defense of Kṛṣṇa

Book 2, Chapter 35

एवमुक्‍त्वा स तानू सर्वान्‌ दीक्षित: पाण्डवाग्रज: । युयोज स यथायोगमधिकारेष्वनन्तरम्‌,यज्ञदीक्षित युधिष्ठिरने ऐसा कहकर उन सबको यथायोग्य अधिकारोंमें लगाया

evam uktvā sa tānū sarvān dīkṣitaḥ pāṇḍavāgrajaḥ | yuyoja sa yathāyogam adhikāreṣv anantaram ||

毗湿摩波耶那说道:言毕,坚战——般度五子之长,既已为祭受灌顶而入戒——便立刻按其才分与应有次第,将众人分别安置于各自职司。此偈彰显:在神圣事业中,政务须有条理,责任须合德而授。

Educational Q&A

Dharma in leadership is shown through assigning duties according to merit and suitability, especially in sacred or public undertakings; right order and prompt execution protect both ethical integrity and communal welfare.

After speaking to the assembled persons, Yudhiṣṭhira—already under the discipline of sacrificial consecration—immediately organizes the participants by appointing each to an appropriate role in the forthcoming ritual arrangements.
