Vaishampayana said: "Having promised 'so be it', Hidimba the rakshasi then, taking Bhimasena, rose up into the sky. On delightful mountain peaks and in the abodes of the gods, resounding with the cries of beasts and birds, ever charming, having assumed a supreme form, adorned with every ornament, conversing most sweetly, she delighted the Pandava."

Here permitted happiness begins -- in beauty and accord. It is telling that Hidimba, faithful to the agreement, first of all promises "so be it": her joy rests upon obedience to dharma. Pleasure sanctified by law and by the blessing of elders is pure and does not draw sin. Telling too is that happiness visits the Pandavas in the midst of exile: even in wandering, providence grants the righteous respite and delight. Thus the scripture shows that dharma does not take joy away but makes it flawless; and love that has passed through humility and law blossoms into good.
