Vaiśaṃpāyana sprach: Der Brāhmaṇa (Dhūmya) wurde überzeugt, dass jene Helden, vereint, ihr Reich gewiss gemäß ihrem eigenen Dharma zurückgewinnen würden — begabt mit Verstand, Tapferkeit, Kraft und unbeugsamem Eifer, den Göttern gleich.

Educational Q&A
Rightful success is portrayed as arising from svadharma supported by inner virtues—discernment (buddhi), valor (vīrya), strength (bala), and resolute zeal (utsāha)—and from unity (sahita).
The narrator reports that the Brahmin Dhūmya, seeing the heroes united and endowed with exemplary qualities, becomes confident that they will regain their rightful kingdom through dharmic means.
