The verse highlights the dharmic ideal that even powerful rulers honor sages and find true satisfaction in righteous association and hospitality—suggesting that moral authority and spiritual merit can surpass political power.
Vāyu addresses Arjuna and recalls an earlier age when renowned kings (like those of Aṅga and Vaṅga) would visit the sage Gautama’s ‘inexhaustible’ dwelling and live there happily, emphasizing the prestige and sanctity of Gautama’s abode.
