Then rising from his seat, Krishna took up the sanctified conch, poured the water it continued upon the head of king Yudhishthira the son of Kunti. The royal sage Dhritarashtra and all the subjects also did the same as requested by Krishna. Thus bathed with the sanctified water of the conch, the son of Pandu then, with his brothers, looked highly beautiful.
तत उत्थाय दाशार्हः शङ्खमादाय पूजितम्। अभ्यषिञ्चत् पतिं पृथ्व्याः कुन्तीपुत्रं युधिष्ठिरम्॥ धृतराष्ट्रश्च राजर्षिः सर्वाः प्रकृतयस्तथा। अनुज्ञातोऽथ कृष्णेन भ्रातृभिः सह पाण्डवः॥ पाञ्चजन्याभिषिक्तश्च राजामृतमुखोऽभवत्। ततोऽनुवादयामासुः पणवानकदुन्दुभीन्॥
