ततस् तद्वचनान् मत्स्यो दूतान् राजा समादिशत् ॥
आचक्षध्वं पुरं गत्वा संग्रामे विजयं मम ॥
कुमाराः समलंकृत्य पर्यागच्छन्तु मे पुरात् ॥
वादित्राणि च सर्वाणि गणिकाश् च स्वलंकृताः ॥
ते गत्वा केवलां रात्रिम् अथ सूर्योदयं प्रति ॥
विराटस्य पुराभ्याशे दूता जयम् अघोषयन् ॥
tatas tadvacanān matsyo dūtān rājā samādiśat ||
ācakṣadhvaṃ puraṃ gatvā saṃgrāme vijayaṃ mama ||
kumārāḥ samalaṃkṛtya paryāgacchantu me purāt ||
vāditrāṇi ca sarvāṇi gaṇikāś ca svalaṃkṛtāḥ ||
te gatvā kevalāṃ rātrim atha sūryodayaṃ prati ||
virāṭasya purābhyāśe dūtā jayam aghoṣayan ||
After these words, Matsya, King Virata, commanded his messengers: 'Go to the city and tell of my victory in battle. Let adorned youths come out to me from the city, along with all the musical instruments and well-adorned dancing girls.' They traveled the whole night, and toward sunrise, at the approaches to the city of Virata, the messengers proclaimed the victory.'

Victory must become shared news, not merely a military success. The king returns to his city through the joy of his subjects.
