Uttara’s Resolve and Draupadī’s Identification of Bṛhannadā as Charioteer (विराट पर्व, अध्याय ३४)
सुह्ृदां प्रियमाख्यातुं घोषयन्तु च ते जयम् | ततस्तद्वचनान्मत्स्यो दूतान् राजा समादिशत्,“महाराज! अब आपके नगरमें सुहृदोंसे यह प्रिय समाचार बतानेके लिये तुरंत ही दूतोंको जाना चाहिये। वे दूत वहाँ आपकी विजय घोषित करें।' तब उनके कथनानुसार राजा विराटने दूतोंको आदेश दिया--
suhṛdāṃ priyam ākhyātuṃ ghoṣayantu ca te jayam | tatas tadvacanān matsyo dūtān rājā samādiśat ||
“为使我等的亲善之人欢喜，当即遣使前往，宣告这可喜的消息；并且也要宣扬你的胜利。”听罢此言，被称为摩蹉的毗罗吒王便下令派出使者，使都城与盟友尽知凯旋之报，并同享其应得的欢悦。

Educational Q&A
A ruler should share auspicious outcomes responsibly: proclaiming victory is not mere pride but a social duty—strengthening morale, honoring allies (suhṛd), and maintaining transparent communication within the polity.
Someone urges that messengers be sent to announce the pleasing news and declare victory to well-wishers; King Virāṭa (called Matsya) accepts the counsel and orders envoys to be dispatched.
