Jarāsandha–Bhīma Niyuddha-prastāvaḥ
Commencement of the Regulated Duel
गौतम: प्रणयात् तस्माद् यथासौ तत्र सझनि । भजते मागधं वंशं स नृपाणामनुग्रहात्,इसी कारण वह गौतम मुनि राजाओंके प्रेमसे वहाँ आश्रममें रहता तथा मगधदेशीय राजवंशकी सेवा करता है
gautamaḥ praṇayāt tasmād yathāsau tatra sañjani | bhajate māgadhaṃ vaṃśaṃ sa nṛpāṇām anugrahāt ||
Darum weilt der Weise Gautama aus Zuneigung und treuer Verbundenheit dort in jener Einsiedelei, wie er es seit Langem gewohnt ist; und durch die Gunst und den Schutz der Könige dient er dem königlichen Geschlecht von Magadha.

Educational Q&A
Affectionate loyalty (praṇaya) and rightful patronage (anugraha) can harmonize ascetic residence with worldly service: a sage may remain settled in an āśrama and still serve a dynasty when the relationship is sustained by goodwill and accepted duty.
Vāyudeva explains that Gautama stays at that place/āśrama due to affectionate attachment and, supported by the favor of kings, renders service to the Magadhan royal lineage.
