"Vyushitashva, o king, shone beyond all mortals, as the sun shines beyond all beings at winter's end. He, best of kings, having conquered and captured the kings of the east, the north, the central lands and the south, subdued them. In the great sacrifice of the ashvamedha the valorous Vyushitashva, lord of kings, was endowed with the strength of ten elephants. And of this those who know the ancient lore sing a gatha: 'Vyushitashva, having conquered this earth to the very edges of the ocean, protected all the estates, as a father protects his own sons.' Performing great sacrifices, he gave wealth to the brahmins; taking countless treasures, he offered great sacrifices, pressed much soma and performed the soma rites".

Here is shown the greatness of Vyushitashva as an ideal king. Telling is the gatha sung of him: he 'protected all the estates, as a father protects his own sons.' Here is the essence of righteous kingship: the sovereign is a father to his subjects, and his power is not domination but fatherly care. Telling is the combination of valor (subduing every quarter of the earth), piety (great sacrifices) and generosity (wealth to the brahmins): strength, faith and giving are united in him. Thus Kunti paints an exemplary king — so that what follows will carry all the more weight: even such a mighty and righteous man was struck down by boundless passion, while his wife's fidelity prevailed over death itself. The image of Vyushitashva prepares both lessons of the tale — of the ruin brought by intemperance, and of the power of love and austerity.
