大王，那些婆罗门心中欢喜，便宣说安康祝福，并高呼“胜利！”随后，他们以如天鹅般深沉洪亮的声调开口颂扬尤提士提罗王——申明君主若奉行正法而又谦恭，自会自然招致学者贤达的善意与祝福。

A dharmic ruler earns the spontaneous blessings and approval of the learned; auspicious speech (svasti) and acclamation of victory (jaya) signify moral legitimacy and social harmony grounded in righteousness.
Vaiśampāyana narrates that the Brahmins, pleased with Yudhiṣṭhira, offer benedictions and shout victory, then begin praising him in solemn, swan-like resonant tones—setting the stage for further commendation of his conduct.
