अनुवाद

"Having met this fire-Pandu — whose great flame is torrents of arrows, whose tongues are weapons, the subduer of enemies — the kings burned. Those kings, with their armies, their forces shattered, made submissive by Pandu, were set to the payment of tribute. By him all the kings on earth were vanquished, and him alone they honored as a hero, as among the gods they honor Indra."

भाष्य

Here Pandu is likened to an all-consuming fire — an image of irresistible military might. It is telling that he does not destroy the defeated but "makes them submissive" and lays tribute upon them: the goal of righteous war is not annihilation but submission to order. Here is measure in victory: even at the height of his strength, the king of dharma leaves the defeated their life and kingdom, demanding only the acknowledgment of his supremacy. The comparison with Indra is telling: Pandu on earth is as the king of the gods in heaven. And yet within this brilliance of worldly glory its fragility can be discerned: this invincible conqueror will soon, by a curse, abandon both throne and power, withdrawing into the forest — a reminder that there is no imperishable glory on earth save service to the Lord.
