Shloka 26
Adhyāya 33: Rauhiṇeya (Balarāma) is welcomed and takes his seat to witness the gadā-engagement
हत्वा दुर्योधनं चापि प्रयच्छोर्वीं ससागराम्
hatvā duryodhanaṃ cāpi prayacchorvīṃ sasāgarām
桑阇耶说道：“在诛杀了难敌之后，（他）还将把这大地——连同环绕四方的海洋——一并赐与。”

The verse highlights that the outcome of war is not only the defeat of an enemy but control over the moral and political act of granting rule. It implicitly questions the righteous use of power after victory—whether sovereignty is claimed for ego or conferred in alignment with dharma and legitimate order.
Sañjaya describes a projected or declared consequence of Duryodhana’s death: once Duryodhana is slain, the victor would be in a position to ‘give’ the earth, conceived as the whole realm bounded by the seas—i.e., to dispose of kingship and dominion.
