'Let the brahmins, learned in the four Vedas, together with the family priest of the Pandavas, anoint you as king today while you stand upon the tiger skin. Let the five brothers, the Pandavas, best among men, stand by, and the five sons of Draupadi, the Panchalas and the Chedis. I myself will anoint you as king, lord of the earth; let Yudhishthira, son of Kunti, be your crown prince. Let the righteous and steadfast Yudhishthira, son of Kunti, take up the white fan and mount the chariot behind you. And mighty Bhimasena, O Kaunteya, will hold the great white royal umbrella over you once you are anointed.'
