युधिष्ठिरस्य राज्याभिषेकः | Yudhiṣṭhira’s Royal Consecration
तत उत्थाय दाशार्ह: शंखमादाय पूजितम् । अभ्यषिज्चत् पतिं पृथ्व्या: कुन्तीपुत्रं युधिष्ठिरम्
tata utthāya dāśārhaḥ śaṅkham ādāya pūjitam | abhyaṣiñcat patiṃ pṛthvyāḥ kuntīputraṃ yudhiṣṭhiram ||
随后,达沙尔诃(Dāśārha)起身,执起那只受敬奉的海螺,行灌顶之礼——以圣水膏泽昆蒂之子尤提希提罗,立为大地之主。此举象征以仪式所认可的权柄移交,恢复正统王权,并强调主权当立基于达摩,而非仅凭武力。
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Political authority is portrayed as legitimate when it is ritually and ethically grounded: the consecration (abhiṣeka) symbolizes that kingship should serve dharma and the welfare of the realm, not personal power.
Vaiśampāyana narrates that Kṛṣṇa (called Dāśārha) rises, takes a revered conch used in auspicious rites, and performs the anointing ceremony, consecrating Yudhiṣṭhira as sovereign of the earth.
