आप्यायत महातेजाः कुन्तीपुत्रो युधिष्ठिरः। धनंजयमभिप्रेक्ष्य विनीत स्थितमन्तिके॥ जटिलं देवराजस्य तपोयुक्तमकल्मषम्। हर्षेण महताऽऽविष्टः फाल्गुनस्याथ दर्शनात्॥ बभूव परमप्रीतो देवराजं च पूजयन्। तं तथादीनमनसं राजानं हर्षसम्लुतम्॥ सर्वाणि मत्तः उवाच वचनंधीमान् देवराजः पुरंदरः। त्वमिमां पृथिवीं राजन् प्रशासिष्यसि पाण्डव। स्वस्ति प्राप्नुहि कौन्तेय काम्यकं पुनराश्रमम्॥
Yudhishthira, the highly energetic son of Kunti seeing, that sinless and devotional Dhananjaya, bearing clotted hair, stand before the king of the gods in humility and smelling (his head), was lost in great joy, at the sight of Falguni and was exceedingly glad at worshipping the lord of the celestials. Then the intelligent king of the gods, Purandara addressed the noble-minded and exceedingly joyful king (Yudhishthira) thus, saying, “O king, O Pandava, you shall govern the earth. Let prosperity attend three, O son of Kunti, Do you return to Kamyaka.
