कुरुसभायां केशवागमन-सत्कारविधानम् / Preparations to Honor Keśava at the Kuru Court

यत्र यत्र च वार्ष्णेयो वर्तते पथि भारत । तत्र तत्र सुखो वायु: सर्व चासीत्‌ प्रदक्षिणम्‌,भारत! वृष्णिनन्दन श्रीकृष्ण मार्गमें जहाँ-जहाँ रहते थे, वहाँ-वहाँ सुखदायिनी वायु चलती थी और सभी शुभ शकुन उनके दाहिने भागमें प्रकट होते थे

yatra yatra ca vārṣṇeyo vartate pathi bhārata | tatra tatra sukho vāyuḥ sarvaṃ cāsīt pradakṣiṇam ||

قال فَيْشَمْبايَنَة: «يا بهاراتا، حيثما سار فَارْشْنِيَة (شري كريشنا)، بهجة آل فْرِشْنِي، على الطريق، هبّت هناك نسمةٌ لطيفة مُنعِشة؛ وفي كل موضع ظهرت البشائر الميمونة عن يمينه—علاماتٌ على أن مسيره ومقصده مؤيَّدان بقوى مباركة ومتوافقان مع الدارما.»

Educational Q&A

The verse highlights the traditional Mahābhārata idea that alignment with dharma manifests as auspicious signs: nature itself (a pleasant breeze) and omens (right-side, pradakṣiṇa) indicate moral and providential support for Kṛṣṇa’s mission.

As Kṛṣṇa travels on the road during the Udyoga Parva’s pre-war negotiations, the narrator notes that wherever he goes, favorable winds and rightward auspicious omens appear—foreshadowing the significance and righteousness associated with his role in the unfolding events.
