«أم لعلّه بسبب الصدقة، يا أفضلَ الحكماء، أني أملك هذه السعادة العظمى—حتى إن الملكَ عظيمَ الساعد يبقى دائمًا تحت تأثيري، يتبع قولي على الدوام؟»
Indumatī
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Listener: Kaṇva ṛṣi
Scene: The woman asks whether her supreme good fortune and the king’s constant compliance arise from charity; the sage is addressed as ‘muniśreṣṭha’.
The verse frames prosperity and harmony as possible fruits of merit—especially charity—inviting reflection on ethical causes behind worldly blessings.
Prabhāsa-kṣetra is the overarching sacred context; the narrative uses personal karma to illuminate dharma within the tīrtha-māhātmya.
Dāna (charitable giving) is explicitly mentioned as a potential source of merit, though details of the gift are not specified.
