Yudhishthira's Ashwamedham 06 - The Treasure

Krishna now suggested that It was time Yudhishthira conducted Ashwamedha Yajnam holy That'll cleanse him of all sins. The grievous sins he had earned Fighting a war against his siblings And causing to kill millions Will now be washed away. 'Ashwamedham lasts a year, nearly And Involves huge expenses. I can't tax my people who are just coming out of the perils of the war.' Bhagawan Ved Vyasa said, 'Ages ago Emperor Maruththa Ruled over the entire Bharatvarsh Very righteous, rich and famous. 'No sooner than he ascended the throne He began to perform a yagam Needing lot of money for the purpose He worshipped Lord Siva with the request 'Lord granted him the boon well-deserved Presented him with an entire hill of gold Marutta used just a little of the wealth The entire balance is there for us to use. 'Let us get what we need of the treasure From where it is in the Himalayas We shall not tax the people for the yagam But, entire world should draw its benefit.' When Lord Krishna supported this, Yudhishthira did think no more.
