These and many other tribes gathered from various regions; and jewels too were brought here by other great-souled ones. King Citraratha, a gandharva, companion of Vāsava, gave four hundred horses swift as the wind. Tumburu, a delighted gandharva, gave a hundred horses the color of mango leaves, gold-garlanded. And King Kṛtī, O Kauravya, gave very many hundreds of treasure-elephants.

Not only earthly kings but gandharvas — the celestial singers — bring gifts to the sacrifice. It is telling that the inhabitants of other worlds too gather to honor the righteous one: Yudhiṣṭhira's dharma draws not only the earth but the celestial beings as well. The verse teaches that greatness founded on righteousness is recognized in all worlds: where dharma triumphs, there even the gods flock with joy. And Tumburu, 'delighted,' gives not under compulsion but out of joy — celestial music lays down its tribute with gladness. But the envious one, even in the coming of the gandharvas, sees only another's increase; what is open to those who rejoice with the righteous is closed to him.
