अर्जुनदुःखहेतुप्रश्नः — Inquiry into the cause of Arjuna’s recurring hardship
Book 14, Chapter 89
ततस्ते ब्राह्मणा: सर्वे मुदिता जग्मुरालयान् । तर्पिता वसुना तेन धर्मराजेन धीमता,तदनन्तर सब ब्राह्मण प्रसन्नतापूर्वक अपने घरोंको गये। बुद्धिमान् धर्मराज युधिष्ठिरने उन सबको उस धनके द्वारा पूर्णतः तृप्त कर दिया था
tataste brāhmaṇāḥ sarve muditā jagmur ālayān | tarpitā vasunā tena dharmarājena dhīmatā ||
Then all those brāhmaṇas, delighted at heart, departed for their homes. The wise Dharmarāja (Yudhiṣṭhira), by means of that wealth, had fully satisfied and gratified them—thus completing his duty of generous giving in a manner consonant with dharma.

Educational Q&A
A righteous king upholds dharma through dāna: giving wealth in a way that genuinely satisfies the recipients, especially learned brāhmaṇas, is portrayed as a concrete expression of ethical governance and social responsibility.
After receiving gifts/wealth, the brāhmaṇas are pleased and return to their homes; the narrator emphasizes that Dharmarāja Yudhiṣṭhira, being wise, has fully gratified them through his generous distribution.
