Having conquered them by kindness, the descendant of Kuru beheld Manasa — the best of lakes — and all those streams of the sages. Having reached Lake Manasa, the lord conquered thereupon, near the Hatakas, the land guarded by the Gandharvas. There, from the city of the Gandharvas, he received as the most abundant tribute excellent horses dappled like partridges, with frog-like eyes.

Arjuna conquers the Guhyakas "by peace" (sāntvena) — not by the sword but by kind words: where one can win over by gentleness, there is no need to bare weapons. It is significant that in these lofty regions the conqueror is granted to behold Manasa, the sacred lake, and the streams born of ascetics: the purity of the land reveals itself to a pure heart. The verse teaches that not every victory is won by force — some are granted by gentleness; and to one who comes without malice, sanctuaries are opened that remain forbidden to the coarse conqueror.
