On Gratitude and Friendship Ethics
तस्माल्लेभे च धर्मज्ञो राजन्नैलविलस्तथा । ततस्त्वैलविलाल्लेभे धुन्धुमारो नरेश्वर:,राजन! उनसे धर्मज्ञ ऐलविलने वह तलवार प्राप्त की। ऐलविलसे वह महाराज धुन्धुमारको मिली
tasmāl lebhe ca dharmajño rājann ailavilas tathā | tatas tv ailavilāl lebhe dhundhumāro nareśvaraḥ ||
毗湿摩说：因此，王啊，通晓法（dharma）的艾拉维拉（Ailavila）得此剑；其后，至尊君王敦敦胡摩罗（Dhundhumāra）又从艾拉维拉受之。此段强调一种伦理观：配得的权力与王者徽号，应当循法而在正当继嗣与血统中传递，而非凭武力强夺。
भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
That authority and potent symbols of rule (like a famed sword) are properly acquired and passed on through dharma—righteous conduct and legitimate succession—rather than through arbitrary seizure.
Bhishma recounts a chain of possession: the dharma-knowing Ailavila receives the sword, and later King Dhundhumāra receives it from Ailavila, indicating a recognized transfer of royal power.
