वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse frames political success as rooted in concord: by maintaining goodwill and reconciliation with rightful allies (here, the Pāṇḍavas), a ruler gains legitimate enjoyment of sovereignty and the fulfillment of aims. It implies that prosperity and stable rule arise from ethical relationship-building rather than coercion.
Vaiśampāyana narrates a piece of counsel directed to a king: if he remains reconciled with “them” (contextually, the Pāṇḍavas and their side), he will obtain all desired outcomes and can rightly rule the territory that the Pāṇḍavas have established/secured.
