布里哈达湿婆说道：那一夜既过，国王那罗身着自家衣饰、佩戴华美饰物，与毗陀婆之公主（达摩延蒂）同往，于适当之时谒见国土之主（毗摩王）。此景彰显守时而恭敬的举止，并以端肃的仪容与对长上、君王的合礼觐见，昭示正当社会秩序的复归。

The verse highlights dharmic propriety: acting at the right time (kāla), approaching authority respectfully, and maintaining dignity through appropriate conduct and appearance—especially during moments of reconciliation and social restoration.
After the night passes, Nala, now properly adorned, goes with Damayantī to meet the king of the land—understood in context as King Bhīma of Vidarbha—marking a formal audience and a key step in re-establishing their place within the royal household.
