Here the earthly dwelling surpasses the halls of the gods — even the hall of Brahma. It is telling that this superiority is given to the house of the righteous king, not of a proud lord: where dharma rules, the dwelling is worthy of more than heaven itself. This is no boast, but a sign of the greatness of Yudhishthira's righteous kingdom. Thus scripture shows the incomparability of the palace; and further, its fearsome guardians follow.
