Adhyāya 64 — Omens, Conch Signals, and Arjuna’s Assault on the Elephant Division
यदम्बरीषो नृपति: करोत्यमितदक्षिण: । इत्येवमनुमोदन्ते प्रीता यस्य महर्षय:
yad ambarīṣo nṛpatiḥ karoty amitadakṣiṇaḥ | ityevam anumodante prītā yasya maharṣayaḥ ||
قال نارادا: «مهما أقدم عليه الملك أمبريشا—ذو العطايا التي لا حدّ لها—أقرَّه الحكماء العظام، مسرورين به، قائلين: ‘نعم، هكذا هو حقًّا.’»

Educational Q&A
A ruler’s actions gain moral authority when grounded in dharma and generosity; the approval of wise seers signifies that such conduct is ethically sound and socially beneficial.
Nārada cites King Ambarīṣa as an exemplar: whatever he undertakes—especially acts involving abundant giving—is warmly endorsed by the great sages, who are pleased with his character and conduct.
