दुर्योधनस्य लज्जा-प्रायोपवेशविचारः
Duryodhana’s Shame and Consideration of Prāyopaveśa
तथैव तव राजेन्द्र राजान: परवीरहन्
tathaiva tava rājendra rājānaḥ paravīrahan
വൈശമ്പായനൻ പറഞ്ഞു—രാജാധിരാജാ, നിന്റെ കാര്യത്തിലും അതുതന്നെ; ശത്രുവീരന്മാരെ വധിക്കുന്ന രാജാക്കന്മാരും യഥോചിത ഫലം അനുഭവിക്കും।

Educational Q&A
The line reinforces a kṣatriya-ethical frame: kings are judged by their conduct in conflict—especially their role in confronting and defeating hostile champions—implying proportional consequences and responsibility in warfare.
Vaiśampāyana addresses a king directly (“rājendra”), drawing a comparison (“tathaiva”) and referring to other kings characterized as ‘slayers of enemy heroes,’ continuing a discussion about royal action and its outcomes in a martial-political context.
