Adhyāya 62: Sañjaya’s Admonition to Dhṛtarāṣṭra on Rāja-dharma and Consequence
तस्यास्ये यौवनाश्व॒स्य पाणिरिन्द्रस्य चास्रवत् । अपिबत् पाणिमिन्द्रस्य स चाप्यल्वाभ्यवर्धत,तत्पश्चात् महामना मान्धाताके मुखमें इन्द्रके हाथने दूध और घीकी धारा बहायी। वह बालक इन्द्रका हाथ पीने लगा और एक ही दिनमें बहुत बढ़ गया
tasyāsye yauvanāśvasya pāṇir indrasya cāsravat | apibat pāṇim indrasya sa cāpy alvābhyavardhata ||
قال نارادا: من فم طفل يوفاناشفا جرى تيارٌ صادرٌ من يد إندرا. فشرب الرضيع من يد إندرا، وفي يومٍ واحد نما نموًّا عظيمًا.

Nārada narrates a marvel: from the infant’s mouth there is a flowing stream associated with Indra’s hand; the child drinks from Indra’s hand and grows rapidly within a day, signaling an exceptional, divinely sanctioned future.
