Karna–Krishna Dialogue: Omens and Dream-Signs
सर्वौषधिवनस्फीत: फलवानल्पमक्षिक: । निष्पड़को रसवत्तोयो नात्युष्णशिशिर: सुख:
sarvauṣadhivanasphītaḥ phalavān alpamakṣikaḥ | niṣpaḍako rasavattōyo nātyuṣṇaśiśiraḥ sukhaḥ ||
قال سانجيا: «إنه شهر يفيض بكل صنوف الأعشاب الطبية وتزدهر فيه الغابات؛ ثماره وافرة ولسع الحشرات فيه قليل. مياهه صافية عذبة المذاق، والجو لا شديد الحر ولا شديد البرد—كلّه يبعث على اليسر والهناء.»

Sañjaya is describing the qualities of a locale as exceptionally pleasant and prosperous, using natural signs—herbs, forests, fruits, insects, water, and climate—to convey its suitability and благоприятность within the ongoing Udyoga Parva narration.
