Ashvatthama

Yudhishthira, instated in a great sacrifice, knows its success depends on more than wealth. He gathers his elders and kin, declares all his riches are theirs, and appoints each to a specific office of responsibility. The result is a spectacle of perfect order, where every guest is a master, every duty is in trusted hands, and the entire world assembles to see a king rival the gods in prosperity.

The Rajasuya sacrifice, protected by Krishna, is complete. The kshatriya kings who attended now seek Yudhishthira's leave to return home. Yudhishthira honors them and orders his brothers and allies to conduct each king and his retinue safely to the borders of his kingdom.
