DISTRIBUTION OF RESPONSIBILITIES IN PANDAVAS POST MAHABHARATA WAR

Yudhisthira becomes the king of Hastinapur and assigns duties to all

All of us are curious to know the responsibilities allotted to Pandavas after the exquisite Mahabharata war. No doubt it is clear that Yudhisthira was enthroned as the king of Hastinapur. However, he decided to rule beneath the command of Dhritarashtra. Let us now understand what occurred to his other brothers Bhima, Arjuna, Nakula and Sahadeva in Hastinapur.

After understanding approximately the boon of Lord Brahma to Charvaka from Lord Krishna, Yudhisthira was relieved from worry. He was then enthroned on the golden stunning throne whilst facing the east. Satyaki and Lord Krishna took their wonderful  thrones in front of him. Bhima and Arjuna sat on their pithas studded with precious stones on both the side of the king. Nakula, Sahadeva, and Kunti were seated on the golden thrones made of elephant teeth. Sudharma, Vidura, Priest Dhaumya, Dhritarashtra, Yuyutsu, Gandhari too took a seat on their stunning thrones there. All the rituals were then done for King Yudhisthira. As in keeping with the instructions of Lord Krishna, priest Dhaumya mounted a Vedi which turned low on the east and north facet. After the formation of Vedi, King Yudhisthira in conjunction with Queen Draupadi sat on the tiger skin and white cloth spreaded on the golden Sarvatobhadra throne there. Priest organized the fire on that Vedi and completed the sacrifice rituals with hymns there. eventually, Lord Krishna anointed the king by means of blowing his Panchajanya Sankha or conch there. Yudhisthira appeared wonderful as if he was shedding nectar from his eyes. Then Dhritarashtra and others also did their parts. King Yudhisthira then Worshiped all the Brahmins and pleased them by way of giving Dakshina. They all admired the king and asked him to take the responsibilities of Hastinapur.

Yudhisthira expressed his deep gratitude to those Brahmins and announced to them that, “ King Dhritarashtra; my father (Tau or elder brother of Father) is just like a deity to me and all my people ought to obey his commands or keep in mind his welfare like before. After slaying all my brother and relatives, I only live now for King Dhritarashtra and desire to serve him vigorously. The whole earth and all the Pandavas inclusive of me will live beneath King Dhritarashtra simplest.”

King Yudhisthira next determined Bhima be the Prince of the kingdom. He gladly appointed Vidura within the function of consultation and obligation assignment. Sanjaya was given the responsibility of scrutinizing the accomplishment of tasks and income and expenditures. Nakula remained in charge of counting the quantity of the whole army, giving them their salary and meals, and monitoring their work. King assigned Arjuna to invade the enemy's country and attack them. Dhaumya remained there for the accomplishment of all the non-secular works associated with deities and Brahmins and also concerning any kind of Brahmanochit acts. King advised Sahadeva to stay near him and shield him continually. Moreover, King then requested Vidura, Sanjaya, and Yuyutsu to act in line with Dhritarashtra’s command.

King Yudhisthira then carried out the Shradha karmas of his dead relatives, brothers, friends in addition to individuals who had had no circle of relatives. Dhritarashtra alongside Gandhari was dealt with civilly like earlier than. All the women who had lost their husbands and sons had been safeguarded with respect. poor, miserable, and blind human beings were treated gently by King Yudhisthira. After taking the permission of Dhritarashtra, the king gave to Bhimasena the marvelous palace of Duryodhana Which was full of tremendous gem treasures and lots of servants as well as slaves. Arjuna was given the palace of Dushasana’s similarly spectacular as Duryodhana’s. Durmasana’s palace which was greater elegant than Dushasana’s and looked just like the place of Kubera was given by Yudhisthira to Nakula. Sahadeva got the first-rate palace of Durmukha’s that was adorned with gold. Yuyutsu, Dhaumya, Sudharma, Sanjaya, and Vidura returned to their own palaces.
