Plakṣaprasravaṇa–Kārapacana tīrtha-varṇana and Nārada’s war briefing (Śalya-parva, Adhyāya 53)
ततस्तम भ्यनुज्ञाप्य प्रह्ृष्टेनान्तरात्मना । जगाम त्रिदिवं भूय: क्षिप्रं बलनिषूदन:
tatas tam abhyanujñāpya prahṛṣṭenāntarātmanā | jagāma tridivaṃ bhūyaḥ kṣipraṃ balanīṣūdanaḥ ||
Setelah berpamitan darinya, dengan hati yang bersukacita, Indra sang penakluk Bala segera berangkat kembali menuju Tridiva, alam surga.

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights dharmic conduct in relationships of counsel and authority: once permission is granted and the matter is settled, one should depart promptly and peacefully, maintaining inner clarity and goodwill.
After receiving assent/leave, Indra—called the slayer of Bala—feels inward joy and quickly returns again to heaven (tridiva), marking the conclusion of an exchange and his withdrawal from the scene.
