Yudhistra is crowned the king.

Duration 28m 20s

Excerpt from this chapter(s): Yudhistra announced in his voice resounding with reverence, that no one could be even thought of for the honour, when Krishna, the lord of all creation was present. The wise and learned sages and kings had absolutely no doubt on that point. However, the ignorant and the frivolous were heard caviling at the decision. Krishna was neither a sage, nor the eldest, nor the relative, nor the guru of the Pandavas. They did not know the Krishna at all. One such deluded king Sishupal, who was Krishna’s cousin, became very aggressive and he hurled many unkind words and abusive words on Krishna, when Bhishma tried to pacify him, even the venerable Kuru elder, became the target of the most vile insults from him. He went to the extent of calling Bhishma an eunuch, son of a river who embraces one and all etc. Bhishma kept his cool to everyone’s amazement. Bhishma was not to let any insult pass. Then Krishna asked Sishupal to stop and he did not. In a moment Sudarshana Chakra was seen in Krishnashnashna’s fings finger and the other moment saw the severed heard of Sishupal. But all assembled saw a strange sight. A beam of light emerged from the severed, headless body of Sishupal and it went into Krishna’s feet. www.urday.com/rajsuya.htm
