Here it is revealed that Harishchandra earned his celestial honor by more than arms alone. It is telling that the narrative, having begun with his conquests, moves on to sacrifice and generosity: conquest was merely the threshold of a righteous deed. Thus the scripture reveals that glory rests not on conquest but on what follows it; and next comes his Rajasuya.
