Having regained the kingdom, the highly pure and wise king Yudhishthira, after the ceremony of installation had been over, joining his hands together, addressed the louts-eyed Krishna of Dasharha's race, saying,-"Through your grace, O Krishna through your policy, might, intelligence and prowess, O foremost of the Yadus, I have regained this ancestral kingdom of mine. O you having lotus-eyes, I repeatedly bow to you, O chastiser of foes.
वैशम्पायन उवाच अभिषिक्तो महाप्राज्ञो राज्यं प्राप्त युधिष्ठिरः। दाशार्ह पुण्डरीकाक्षमुवाच प्राञ्जलिः शुचिः॥ तव कृष्ण प्रसादेन नयेन च बलेन च। बुद्ध्या च यदुशार्दूल तथा विक्रमणेन च॥ पुनः प्राप्तमिदं राज्यं पितृपैतामहं मया। नमस्ते पुण्डरीकाक्ष पुनः पुनररिन्दम॥
