From the above anecdote one can summarize the following aspects.
# Cyavana, though his deep tapas was disturbed by the fishermen, did not get angry on them. This is because the fishermen did their duty and were unware of the presence of Cyavana.
# The fishermen, knowing that if not now sometime or the other the must face consequence of their acts, reported their mistake (what they thought was a mistake) to the King.
# Importance of Gomāta and Godānam is well displayed in the story.
# Nahuṣha was prepared to give away his entire sāmrājyam for doing his duty as a King.
