He subdued Sukumara and King Sumitra, likewise conquered the Apara-Matsyas and the Pataccharas. The wise one swiftly conquered Nishadabhumi and Goshringa — the foremost of mountains — and King Shrenimat. Having vanquished Navarashtra, he hastened to Kuntibhoja, and that one accepted his command with love.

Kuntibhoja — the adoptive father of Kunti, grandmother of the Pandavas by adoption — accepts the grandson’s will ‘with love,’ without compulsion. It is significant that among the conquered there is also kin, and they are approached not as an enemy: the bonds of blood and affection are not abolished by the business of kingship, but are drawn into it. The verse teaches that righteous power does not tear apart family ties for the sake of dominion, but rests upon them; and where there is love, a command is received as a gift, not a yoke — for obedience born of affection is light, while obedience born of fear is heavy.
