"There, in mansions of various kinds, splendidly adorned, vying with one another, all the kings took their seats; and people beheld them, seated there — lion-like kings of great might and prowess, greatly fortunate, anointed with black aguru, greatly gracious, honoring brahmins, protectors of their own realms, dear to all the world for their good and virtuous deeds."

Here the gathering of kings shines not by might alone but by virtue as well. It is telling that the kings are described as "honoring brahmins, protectors of realms, dear to the world for good deeds": true kingship lies in the protection of subjects and reverence for what is sacred, not in splendor alone. Here is the image of a good ruler, loved for his deeds, not for his pomp. Thus the scripture shows that righteous kings are renowned; and among this worthy assembly the contest for the maiden is about to unfold.
