Translation

Yudhiṣṭhira was freed of delusion by the realization that became firmly established after hearing Bhīṣma’s instructions and thereafter those of Acyuta [Kṛṣṇa]. With Ajita as his refuge and assisted by his younger brothers, Yudhiṣṭhira ruled over the earth extending to the sea, just as Indra rules over the three worlds.
