The great sage Maitreya said: After hearing King Pá¹›thu speak so nicely, all the demigods, the denizens of Pitá¹›loka, the brÄhmaṇas and the saintly persons present at the meeting congratulated him by expressing their good will.
When a person speaks very nicely at a meeting, he is congratulated by the audience, who express their good will with the words sÄdhu, sÄdhu. This is called sÄdhu-vÄda. All the saintly persons, PitÄs (denizens of Pitá¹›loka) and demigods who were present at the meeting and heard Pá¹›thu MahÄrÄja expressed their good will with the words sÄdhu, sÄdhu. They all accepted the good mission of Pá¹›thu MahÄrÄja, and they were fully satisfied.
