Here the wife of the defeated seeks salvation in refuge with the righteous. It is telling that she turns to Yudhishthira, the king of dharma: the defenseless, by instinct, seek refuge with one who upholds the law. Here is revealed the sanctity of refuge (sharanagati): whoever comes with a plea must be sheltered. Thus the text shows that even a recent enemy, upon taking refuge, comes under the protection of dharma; and the gandharvi's plea gives the Pandavas occasion to show mercy.
