त्रयोऽहि लोका विहितं विधानंनातिक्रमन्ते वशगा हि तस्य।प्रीतिं परां प्राप्स्यसि तां तथैवपुत्रस्तु ते प्राप्स्यति यौवराज्यम्।धात्रा विधानं विहितं तथैवन शूरपत्नयः परिदेवयन्ति4.24.43।।

prītiṃ parāṃ prāpsyasi tāṃ tathaiva putras tu te prāpsyati yauvarājyam |
dhātrā vidhānaṃ vihitaṃ tathaiva na śūra-patnayaḥ paridevayanti ||
“Indeed, the three worlds do not transgress the order that has been set, for they are under His control. In due course you will attain deep peace, and your son will obtain the position of heir-apparent. Since the Creator’s arrangement stands thus, the wives of heroes do not wail beyond measure.”
