With love [Bhishmaka accepted the command], while the mighty-armed [Sahadeva], out of reverence for Vasudeva [Krishna, had communicated with him]; then, taking the jewels, the lord of battles set out again. Then, great in splendor and mighty in strength, he subdued Shurparaka and the community named Upakrita, and the Dandakas — and the island-dwelling sea peoples, the kings born of mlecchas, the Nishadas, the man-eaters, and the Karnapravaranas, and those called Kalamukhas, men born of rakshasas.

Now it is no longer the kings of the Vedic circle who are brought under one order, but man-eaters 'born of rakshasas,' dwellers of distant islands — the darkest corners of the earth. It is significant that Sahadeva's respect for Bhishmaka is 'out of reverence for Vasudeva': even in matters of kingship, everything is done with an eye toward Krishna, for His sake. The verse teaches a twofold truth: dharma extends to the very limits, embracing both the alien and the fearsome; and every righteous act has the Lord as its hidden center — whoever remembers Him even in small things turns everything into service, and the breadth of conquest becomes the breadth of an offering.
