अक्षदेवन-प्रवर्तनम् | Commencement of the Dice Game
प्रीतिमन्त उपातिष्न्नभिषेकं महर्षय: । जामदग्न्येन सहितास्तथान्ये वेदपारगा:,जैसे स्वर्गमें देवराज इन्द्रके पास सप्तर्षि पधारते हैं, उसी प्रकार पर्याप्त दक्षिणा देनेवाले महाराज युधिष्ठिरके पास बहुत-से महात्मा मन्त्रोच्चारण करते हुए पधारे थे ।।
prītimanta upātiṣṭhann abhiṣekaṁ maharṣayaḥ | jāmadagnyena sahitās tathānye vedapāragāḥ || adhārayac chatram asya sātyakiḥ satyavikramaḥ | dhanañjayaś ca vyajane bhīmasenaś ca pāṇḍavaḥ ||
杜尤陀那说道：“怀着敬爱之心的诸大圣仙前来参加由提湿提罗的灌顶大典；他们与阇摩达格尼之子（帕罗修罗摩）及其他通达吠陀的宗师同来，诵持神圣真言——正如七仙在天界趋近天帝因陀罗一般。于那仪式之中，勇武确凿的萨底耆为他擎起王伞；而檀那阇耶（阿周那）与般度族的毗摩塞那侍立两旁，为他执扇拂风。”

Public sovereignty is portrayed as resting on dharmic recognition: Vedic seers and eminent figures validate a king through consecration rites and auspicious service. The verse also hints at the ethical tension of envy—Duryodhana observes the signs of legitimate honor that will later fuel his resentment.
During Yudhiṣṭhira’s royal consecration, many great ṛṣis—along with Paraśurāma and other Vedic authorities—arrive chanting mantras. In the ceremony’s royal protocol, Sātyaki holds the parasol over Yudhiṣṭhira, while Arjuna and Bhīma perform the honor of fanning him.
