अनुवाद
The gandharva said: 'Union is pleasant — this is seen in gatherings. Rejoicing that my life has been given back to me, I give you the vidya; for from you I will receive the excellent weapon of Agni, and also friendship for a long time, O Bibhatsu, bull of the Bharata race.'

Here the gift turns into a mutual exchange, and by this the honor of both is satisfied. It is telling that the gandharva, having understood Arjuna, offers not ransom but exchange: he gives the vidya and takes the weapon — the gift becomes reciprocal. Here it is seen that true friendship rests on mutuality, not on a favor owed: equals give to one another. Thus scripture shows how recent adversaries find equality in exchange and affection; and from battle an alliance is born, honorable to both.
