Here the love of the people is won by deeds and by truthful speech. It is telling that Yudhishthira is not content with rank but "accomplishes in deed" what is good: true love is earned not by position but by righteous action. Telling too is the perfection of his speech — free of falsehood or offense. Truthfulness and good deeds are the foundation of a good name. Thus scripture reveals the virtue of Yudhishthira; and for this he is loved not for his rank, but for his merit.
