Then Arjuna, the son of Pakashasana, said to them, o king: "I desire universal sovereignty for the wise Dharmaraja; I will not enter your land if it is not subject to men — let only something be given by you to Yudhishthira as tribute." Then they gave him divine garments, divine ornaments, and divine hides as tribute.

Arjuna displays the perfection of measure: hearing that the land is not subject to mortals, he does not persist but withdraws — "I will not enter." It is significant that his aim here too is not his own glory but Yudhishthira's kingdom; and for its sake a mere token of honor — tribute, not conquest — is enough for him. Thus a conqueror free of greed reveals himself: he takes exactly as much as serves the cause and does not encroach upon what is forbidden. The verse teaches that true strength knows restraint, and true obedience to dharma knows how to withdraw where to insist would be insolence.
