King Yudhishthira is described here as parameshthya-kama, or "desiring parameshthya." The word parameshthya means "unrivaled supremacy" and also indicates "the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who stands at the very height of all existence." Therefore, Srila Prabhupada translates Narada's message as follows: "You have inquired about Your cousins the Pandavas in the role of their well-wisher, and therefore I shall let You know about their intentions. Now please hear me. First of all, may I inform You that King Yudhishthira has all material opulences that are possible to achieve in the highest planetary system, Brahmaloka. He has no material opulence for which to aspire, and yet he wants to perform the Rajasuya sacrifice only to get Your association and to please You.... He wants to worship You in order to achieve Your causeless mercy, and I beg to request You to fulfill his desires."

Since the word parameshthya may also indicate the position of Lord Brahma, the term parameshthya-kama is taken here by Srila Prabhupada to indicate not only that King Yudhishthira desired Lord Krishna's association and mercy but also that King Yudhishthira himself possessed parameshthya, all the opulences of Lord Brahma.
