Suvarṇa-dāna: Kārttikeya’s Origin and the Defeat of Tāraka (सुवर्णदान-प्रसङ्गे कार्त्तिकेय-उत्पत्ति तथा तारकवधः)
पराभूतेषु दैत्येषु शक्रस्त्रिभुवने श्वर: । प्रजा: समुदिता: सर्वा: सत्यधर्मपरायणा:
parābhūteṣu daityeṣu śakras tribhuvaneśvaraḥ | prajāḥ samuditāḥ sarvāḥ satyadharmaparāyaṇāḥ ||
毗湿摩说道:“往昔,诸天击败了达那婆之后,释迦(因陀罗)成为三界之主;众生欢喜聚集,皆专志于真实与正法(达摩)。”

Just governance and the restoration of rightful order after the defeat of disruptive forces lead society toward satya (truthfulness) and dharma (righteous conduct); collective well-being is shown as a natural outcome of dharmic sovereignty.
Bhīṣma recalls an earlier time: after the gods defeat the Daityas, Indra becomes ruler of the three worlds, and the people, rejoicing, assemble and commit themselves to living by truth and dharma.
