Vaishampayana said: 'Having said this, King Nahusha left behind the body of the python, assumed his divine form, and departed for Tridiva. Righteous Yudhishthira, reunited with his brother Bhima, and accompanied by the glorious Dhaumya, returned to the hermitage. There Yudhishthira, the Dharma-king, told all that had happened to all the twice-born who had gathered. Hearing this, all the brahmins, his three brothers, and the illustrious Draupadi were greatly abashed. The best of the twice-born, wishing the Pandavas well, said to Bhima, "Do not do this again," rebuking his rashness. The Pandavas, however, seeing mighty Bhima freed from danger, were filled with joy and rejoiced with delight.'

The story ends not in a triumph of strength but in a lesson of restraint. Bhima is saved by Yudhishthira's wisdom, and so the family's joy is joined with a rebuke of rashness.
