Yudhishthira balances the news of his death with a reckoning of the boy's deeds: thousands fallen, a hundred princes, King Brihadbala. "Paramadharmātmā", "supreme in spirit", is the last word about him: he died not broken, but having fulfilled his duty beyond measure. "Diṣṭāntam upajagmivān", "came to his fated limit" — his death is named an arrival at what was appointed, not a defeat. It is telling that the account of the loss is crowned with the glory of the fallen. The verse teaches that a true report of a righteous man's death must be carried together with the memory of his deed; otherwise grief obscures the very thing worth both mourning and emulating.
