వినోదంలోనూ అసత్యం పలకని ఆ మహాత్మునికి, యుద్ధంలో ధనంజయుడు వంటి వీరుడు తోడుంటే—ఈ కౌరవ రాజ్యాన్ని గెలవడం ఏమాత్రం కష్టం? అతడు త్రిలోకాధిపత్యమునకూ అర్హుడు.

Educational Q&A

The verse teaches that unwavering truthfulness (satya) is a mark of true nobility and a foundation of legitimate rule; when such moral integrity is supported by righteous strength (a champion like Arjuna), success and authority become natural outcomes—even symbolically extending to ‘the three worlds’.

Vaiśampāyana praises the moral stature of the righteous king (understood in context as Yudhiṣṭhira): his speech remains truthful even in relaxed moments, and with Arjuna as his warrior, conquering the Kaurava realm is portrayed as easy—indeed, his merit is said to be great enough to claim universal dominion.
