The clash between Dhananjaya and Brihanta was very great, but Brihanta could not withstand the might of the Pandava. Understanding that the son of Kunti was unconquerable, the lord of the mountains submitted to him, bringing jewels from everywhere. Having settled that kingdom, [Arjuna] set out together with the king of Kuluta and swiftly cast Senabindu down from his throne.

Brihanta, hitherto 'unwise' in his resistance, perceives the truth the moment he meets the unconquerable: pride yields not to arguments but to sheer evidence. It is significant that this insight comes through trial — only upon encountering what surpasses him does the bold one attain humility. And, having submitted, he does not lose his kingdom: the victor 'settles' (avasthāpya) his domain rather than laying it waste. The verse teaches that meeting the higher brings the stubborn to their senses, and that righteous strength, having prevailed, does not cast down the worthy but confirms them in their place.
