Your father ruled over his subjects for sixty years. When he died, all the people were extremely sorry. After him, O best of men, you have acquired this hereditary kingdom of the Kurus, (who have been ruling over it) for the last thousand years. O protector of every creature, you were installed when you were a child.
प्रजा इमास्तव पिता षष्टिवर्षाण्यपालयत्। ततो दिष्टान्तमापन्नः सर्वेषां दुःखमावहन्॥ ततस्त्वं पुरुषश्रेष्ठ धर्मेण प्रतिपेदिवान्। इदं वर्षसहस्राणि राज्यं कुरुकुलागतम्। बाल एवाभिषिक्तस्त्वं सर्वभूतानुपालकः॥
