कृपकृपी-जननम्

The Birth of Kṛpa and Kṛpī; Kṛpa’s Attainment of Astras

अपत्यं गुणसम्पन्नं लब्धा प्रीतिकरं हासि । बुद्धिमान्‌ मनुष्य व्यग्रता छड़कर बिना क्लेशके ही अभीष्ट फलको प्राप्त कर लेता है। राजन! आपको उस दृष्ट फलके लिये प्रयत्न करना चाहिये। आप निश्चय ही गुणवान्‌ और हर्षोत्पादक संतान प्राप्त करेंगे

apatyaṃ guṇasampannaṃ labdhā prītikaraṃ hāsi | buddhimān manuṣyaḥ vyagratāṃ chaḏḍhakar binā kleśenaiva abhīṣṭa-phalaṃ prāpnoti | rājan! āpko tat dṛṣṭa-phalāya prayatnaṃ kartavyaṃ | bhavān niścayaṃ guṇavān harṣotpādakaṃ santānaṃ prāpsyati |

قال فايشَمبايانا: «إذا نال المرء ذريةً موفورةَ الخصال—ذريةً تُدخل السرور—فليفرح. إن الحكيم، إذا ترك الاضطراب والقلق، نال الثمرة المنشودة من غير عناء. أيها الملك، ينبغي لك أن تجتهد لأجل ذلك الخير المشهود المحسوس. وستحصل يقينًا على أبناء ذوي فضائل، يكونون مصدر بهجة.»

Educational Q&A

The verse emphasizes practical wisdom: by giving up restless agitation and acting with steady effort, one attains desired results with minimal suffering; for a king, striving for tangible welfare includes securing virtuous, joy-giving progeny.

Vaiśampāyana addresses a king, encouraging him to pursue a visible, worldly good—namely the attainment of virtuous offspring—while advising a calm, non-agitated mindset as the means to successful outcomes.
