अद्य त्वामभिषिञ्चन्तु चातुर्वैद्या द्विजातयः । पुरोहितः पाण्डवानां व्याघ्रचर्मण्यवस्थितम्॥५-१३८-१६॥

Let the twice-born Brahmins, learned in the four Vedas, consecrate you today—together with the Pāṇḍavas’ family priest—while you are seated upon a tiger-skin.

english translation

तथैव भ्रातरः पञ्च पाण्डवाः पुरुषर्षभाः । द्रौपदेयास्तथा पञ्च पाञ्चालाश्चेदयस्तथा॥५-१३८-१७॥

Likewise, the five Pāṇḍava brothers—foremost among men—will be present, as also the five sons of Draupadī, and likewise the Pāñcālas and the Cedis.

english translation

अहं च त्वाभिषेक्ष्यामि राजानं पृथिवीपतिम् । युवराजोऽस्तु ते राजा कुन्तीपुत्रो युधिष्ठिरः॥५-१३८-१८॥

I too will consecrate you as king, lord of the earth. And let King Yudhiṣṭhira, the son of Kuntī, be your heir-apparent.

गृहीत्वा व्यजनं श्वेतं धर्मात्मा संशितव्रतः । उपान्वारोहतु रथं कुन्तीपुत्रो युधिष्ठिरः॥५-१३८-१९॥

Holding a white fan, let the righteous-souled Yudhiṣṭhira—firm in his vows, Kuntī’s son—mount the chariot in attendance.

english translation

छत्रं च ते महच्छ्वेतं भीमसेनो महाबलः । अभिषिक्तस्य कौन्तेय कौन्तेयो धारयिष्यति॥५-१३८-२०॥

And when you have been consecrated, O Kaunteya, the mighty Bhīmasena will hold aloft your great white parasol.
