The verse highlights the ideal of dhārmic kingship: a ruler’s legitimacy and lasting fame are grounded in exemplary adherence to dharma, not merely power or inheritance.
Bhīṣma continues a genealogical and moral account, introducing Dyutimān’s son Suvīra, emphasizing that he became a celebrated king distinguished by supreme righteousness.
