The auspicious celebration of the Rajasuya Yajna; the generous hospitality of the gods, Brahmins, and guests

Naradji says - Rajan! Yajna began in the Dwarabhuta Pindaraka region of Arthasiddhi, which lies between Mount Raivataka and the sea. The kund that was built in that yajna had an extension of five yojanas. The Brahmakundas were made into one yojana and the Panchakundas into two kosams. They were all beautifully constructed with tanks, trenches, extensions, and altars. The great altar there was a thousand cubits high. The Suvarnamaya Yajnamandapa had an extension of five yojanas, adorned with chandavas and bandhanavaras. Banana poles adorned it. 1 - 4.

Surrounded by the Yadavas of Bhoja, Vrishni, Andhaka, Madhu, Shurasena and Dasaraha lineage, King Ugrasena adorned the Yajna mandapa like Indra with deities. Just as the Supreme Personality of Godhead is adorned with His attributes, so the most perfect Lord, Yajnavatara Sri Krishna, was adorned with his sons and grandsons in that sacrifice. 5 - 6. (Vishwajitkhand Chapter 46 to 50)

Yaduraja Ugrasena took the initiation of the Kratusrestha Rajasuya Yajna by accumulating great wealth and making Gargacharya his guru. Maithil! In that yajna, one million would have performed, one million would have initiated, and five lakh would have performed. In the bonfire, a thick stream of ghee was poured in front of the elephant's trunk, which the fire god ate and drank, causing indigestion. In those days, no creature in the three worlds went hungry. All the gods became sick of indigestion by drinking Soma. 7-10 |

Along with his wife Ruchimati, the valiant Yadava-raj Ugrasena took the abhrita-bath of the yajna at Pindar Tirtha. They ritually bathed with Veda-mantras accompanied by sages like Vyasa. Just as Yajna adorned the south, King Ugrasena adorned himself with Queen Ruchimati. The cries of the gods and men were heard, and the gods showered flowers on Ugrasena. Fourteen million elephants adorned with gold necklaces were donated by Ugrasena. He gave a hundred billion horses as offerings at the altar. Crores of Navaratnas, along with precious necklaces and clothes, presented the sage to Gargacharya. At the same time, they were also given household appliances. King Ugrasena, the great Yadavendra, gave a thousand elephants, ten thousand horses, and twenty loads of gold to the Brahmin Brahma in that sacrifice. Just as the Brahmins were so satisfied with Dakshin in the sacrifice of King Marutka that they left their golden vessels, so also in this sacrifice of Maharaja Ugrasena, the Brahmins returned home satisfied and cheerful. Satisfied with their share, all the gods went to heaven. The Vandijans were also given a lot of liquid, to which they went home cheering. Demons, demons, apes, bearded animals, and even birds were satisfied. All the serpents also returned to their homes contented. The cows, the mountains, the communities of trees, the rivers, the pilgrimage, and the sea - all received their share, and they returned to their respective places satisfied. The kings who were invited were also worshipped with great charity, and they went to their respective homes in satisfaction. The main main gopas like Nanda were worshipped by Lord Krishna himself. All of them returned to Vrajko, happy with love and charity. 11-22 | (Vishwajitkhand Chapter 46 to 50)

The king! Thus I described to you the auspicious celebration of the Rajasuya Mahayagya. Where there is Lord Krishna directly, what work will not succeed? Human beings who always read and listen to this story attain all four things - Dharma, Artha, Kama, and Moksha. Lord Krishna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the Supreme Personality of Godhead and the Puranic Personality of Godhead; may He sanctify you. The humans who hear this strange tale of him sanctify their clan. Woe to you! Parameshwara Srihari, on the pretext of a yajna, removed the weight of the entire floor. Salutations to the Eternal Lord, the Lord of the Universe, who appeared in Yadukula in the form of Chaturvya. 23-27 |

Thus was completed the fiftieth chapter of the Srigarghasamhita, the Narada Bahulashva Samvad under the Vishwajit Khanda, in the context of the great rise of Ugrasena, the 'Description of the Rajasuya Yajna Utsava'. 50.
