To him thus addressed, Dharmaraja replied to Madhusudana: "By your grace, O Govinda, I have attained this sacrifice; by your grace the whole royal kshatra, subdued, has come to me bearing the chief tribute. Without you, O hero, we shall never be able to rejoice here at all; and yet you must without fail go to the city of Dvaravati."

Yudhishthira ascribes everything to "the grace of Govinda": both the sacrifice and the submission of the kings. It is telling that at the very peak of success the righteous man does not think "I have achieved this," but "You have achieved this." The verse teaches that a pure heart sees the hand of the Lord in every blessing and claims nothing for itself; gratitude is a sure sign of true devotion. And the words "without you we shall not rejoice" reveal where true joy actually lies: not in the kingdom attained, but in the presence of the Lord -- a kingdom without Him is empty, while He, even without a kingdom, is the fullness of joy. The devotee treasures not the fruits but the Giver; separation from Him is more bitter than the loss of any blessing.
