Shishupala accepts Yudhishthira's cause "readily" and for thirty nights graciously keeps Bhima as his guest -- a voluntary acknowledgment of overlordship, sealed by prolonged hospitality. It is telling that his submission here is not compelled but heartfelt; and all the more bitter will the coming rupture be. The verse displays the beauty of the concord possible between houses, so long as pride has not yet taken hold. As long as a man honors dharma and his elder, he finds in others not tribute-payers but hosts; discord is born only where self-regard overcomes reverence -- but that is another chapter.
