Here Pandu's generosity and reverence come to light. It is telling that he does not keep the wealth he has won for himself but distributes it — first to his elders (Bhishma, Satyavati, and his mother), then to his brother Vidura and to his friends. This is the dharma of righteous acquisition: what is won through valor is meant not for self-indulgence but for honoring elders and sustaining loved ones. It is also telling that Pandu acts "with Dhritarashtra's permission": though he himself won the wealth, he disposes of it with his elder brother the king's consent — humility does not leave him even at the height of glory. Thus the scripture shows that a hero's true wealth lies in his ability to give it away, honoring his elders and gladdening those close to him.
