ヴァイシャンパーヤナは言った。ビーマのその驚くべき業を見て、クリシュナは—この二人こそクンティーの子（ビーマとアルジュナ）であろうと疑い—諸王をやさしく戦いから制し、彼女はダルマに則って得られたのだと、ことごとくを懇ろに説き伏せた。
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
Even when conflict seems imminent, a dharmic resolution should be sought through reasoned persuasion and conciliation; legitimacy grounded in dharma can avert violence among rulers.
After witnessing Bhīma’s remarkable act, Kṛṣṇa suspects the two brothers are the Kuntī-born Pāṇḍavas (Bhīma and Arjuna) and prevents the assembled kings from fighting by explaining that the outcome was achieved according to dharma.
