Jarītā-Śārṅgaka-saṃvādaḥ — The Dialogue of Jaritā and the Śārṅgaka Chicks

Fire-escape deliberation

तथा तु मुदिता: सर्वे पाण्डवा विगतज्वरा: । अवसन्‌ पृथिवीपालांस्तापयन्त: स्वतेजसा,इस प्रकार सभी पाण्डव अपने तेजसे दूसरे नरेशोंको संतप्त करते हुए निश्चिन्त तथा आनन्दमग्न होकर वहाँ निवास करते थे

tathā tu muditāḥ sarve pāṇḍavā vigatajvarāḥ | avasan pṛthivīpālāṁs tāpayantaḥ svatejasā ||

于是,诸般度子皆欣然无忧,居于其地,以自身光威使诸王震慑而归服。此偈点明一段安定的治世:内心的从容与外在的权柄相辅相成,建立秩序——并非凭无谓的残酷,而是凭经由自律而成的力量之自然优势。

Educational Q&A

Legitimate authority (tejas) paired with inner freedom from agitation (vigatajvara) sustains social order: when rulers are composed and disciplined, their very presence restrains rival powers and stabilizes the realm.

Vaiśampāyana reports that the Pāṇḍavas are living contentedly and without worry, while their influence and radiance effectively keep other kings in check, indicating a period of secure residence and recognized supremacy.
