Going out to meet his grandfather [Bhishma] and his preceptor [Drona] and bowing to them, Yudhishthira, O king, spoke this word: "At this sacrifice, favor me in every way; all this is your possession — both I myself and all the wealth of mine that is here."

At the hour of his greatest glory, Yudhishthira does not exalt himself but bows low: he goes out to meet his elders and offers them "both himself and all his wealth." This utter humility of one ascending to the summit is telling: the higher the honor, the lower the bow. The verse teaches that true greatness lies not in rising above one's elders but in laying everything gained at their feet. One who, on the threshold of triumph, remembers to whom he is indebted and entrusts himself to those he reveres will not be swelled by success; humility in glory is the surest sign of true dignity.
