SB 1.9.41

TRANSLATION

At the Rajasuya-yajna [sacrifice] performed by Maharaja Yudhisthira, there

was the greatest assembly of all the elite men of the world, the royal and

learned orders, and in that great assembly Lord Sri Krsna was worshiped by

one and all as the most exalted Personality of Godhead. This happened during

my presence, and I remembered the incident in order to keep my mind upon the

Lord.

PURPORT

After gaining victory in the Battle of Kuruksetra, Maharaja Yudhisthira, the

Emperor of the world, performed the Rajasuya sacrificial ceremony......

 

.........So in that great assembly, Lord Sri Krsna was the cynosure of

neighboring eyes. Everyone wanted to see Lord Krsna, and everyone wanted to

pay his humble respects to the Lord. Bhismadeva remembered all this and was

glad that his worshipful Lord, the Personality of Godhead, was present

before him in His actual formal presence.

>>> Ref. VedaBase => SB 1.9.41

 

My understanding is that there wasn't enough time, after the battle of

Kurukshetra was over and before Bhismadeva left his body, to do a Rajasuya

sacrifice. Moreover he was on bed of arrows, so he couldn't have been

present at the sacrifice.

So the questions is, Is Srila Prabhupada referring to Rajasuya sacrifice

which Yudhisthira Maharaja performed when he was emperor of Indraprastha, or

is there some other meaning that I'm unable to understand? Please clarify.
