[26] Here some compare him to Arjuna. But we do not consider that son of glorious Parjanya, who was situated in the middle and brought joy to all, comparable to that son of Pāṇḍu, by way of the word 'boy'. Moreover, among those most magnanimous brothers, he did not dwell in their midst merely by virtue of birth, but also by being the vessel of treasures of affection—and that not only of theirs, but of everyone. Thereby the growth of the prosperity of affection toward him, greater even than that of the parents, constantly increased the joy of his brothers as well, and was never a cause of rivalry. Nor was this the only good quality manifested in him.
