King Yudhishthira now rules the earth without a rival, thanks to the strength of Bhimasena and the twin brothers. It was through righteousness alone that the king was able to reclaim his kingdom, free from enemies, and it was through the power of righteousness that King Suyodhana was killed in battle.

Now, the king, the son of Dharma and the lord of the earth, peacefully enjoys his entire kingdom with your help, and I, too, have been spending my time pleasantly in your company, surrounded by nature.
