Yudhishthira said: "Worthy of you is this, mother, that you have decided thoughtfully: out of compassion for the suffering brahmin this has been done. Surely this Bhima will return, having slain the man-eater. But so that the townspeople do not learn of this, this brahmin must be carefully instructed and persuaded to silence."

Here Yudhishthira, persuaded, turns his earlier alarm into approval. It is telling that he accepts his mother's decision, recognizing in it both deliberation and compassion: the wise know how to set aside their own fear once a higher truth is revealed. Telling, too, is his concern for secrecy -- rejoicing in the coming victory, he does not forget the caution of an exile. Here is the humility of the righteous before truth, and a sobriety not lost even in joy. Thus the scripture shows a harmony in which Kunti's devotion and Yudhishthira's discernment meet; the dispute of loving hearts is resolved in a shared mind that prepares the deliverance of the brahmin family and of the whole city.
