Sustained goodwill (sauhṛda) and ethical scrutiny over time reveal true character: after prolonged observation, no fault is found in Pṛthā, highlighting the Mahābhārata’s emphasis on inner virtue and steadfast righteousness.
Vaiśaṃpāyana reports that after a full year, an eminent practitioner of japa—disposed toward Pṛthā with friendly intent—examines her conduct and finds no wrongdoing whatsoever.
