The verse highlights dāna and tyāga: when a ruler relinquishes even the highest worldly possessions (kingdom and familial ties) to a worthy, virtuous recipient, such selfless giving is portrayed as dharmic and as leading to heavenly merit.
Bhīṣma recounts that King Nimi of Vidarbha gave his kingdom and his daughter to the sage Agastya, and thereafter attained Svarga along with his sons, cattle, and relatives—an exemplum used to praise generous, righteous giving.
