Important Words
-
prīta-manasaḥ
—
with pleased hearts
Prīti — affectionate pleasure, the Vaiṣṇava emotional register. The whole city responds in bhakti-prīti, not merely civic relief.
-
māgadham-śāntam
—
the Magadhan put to rest
Two consecutive synonym-chunks. Śānta here is euphemism for slain; Vyāsa's word-choice signals that Jarāsandha's death is a śānti — a peace — not merely a kill.
-
āpta-manaḥ-rathaḥ
—
whose mind-chariot is fulfilled
Two consecutive synonym-chunks: āpta + manaḥ-rathaḥ. Manoratha — literally 'chariot of the mind', i.e., long-cherished desire. The compound names Yudhiṣṭhira's interior state with one image: the chariot has reached its destination.
-
indraprastha-nivāsinaḥ
—
the residents of Indraprastha
A single synonym-chunk. Indra-prastha — 'Indra's plain' — the Pāṇḍava capital. The verse names the city's whole population as the joyful audience; v.35 will then narrow to Yudhiṣṭhira alone.
The residents of Indraprastha were very pleased to hear that sound, for they understood that now the King of Magadha had been put to rest. King Yudhiṣṭhira felt that his desires were now fulfilled.

Analogy
A long-illness household hears a footstep at the gate and the whole house exhales together. The sound of the conch is not just news for Yudhiṣṭhira; it is medicine for an entire city. One Magadhan tyrant down, and Indraprastha breathes for the first time in years.
