Ikṣvāku Dynasty: Vikukṣi’s Offense, Purañjaya’s Victory, Māndhātā’s Birth, and Saubhari’s Fall and Renunciation
राज्ञा पीतं विदित्वा वै ईश्वरप्रहितेन ते । ईश्वराय नमश्चक्रुरहो दैवबलं बलम् ॥ २९ ॥
rājñā pītaṁ viditvā vai īśvara-prahitena te īśvarāya namaś cakrur aho daiva-balaṁ balam
ৰজাই সেই জল পান কৰা বুলি জানি, সেয়া পৰম নিয়ন্তাৰ প্ৰেৰণাতেই ঘটিছে বুলি বুজি তেওঁলোকে ঈশ্বৰক নমস্কাৰ কৰিলে। আৰু ক’লে—“আহা! দেৱবলেৱেই সত্য বল; পৰমেশ্বৰৰ শক্তিক কোনে প্ৰতিহত কৰিব পাৰে?”
This verse states that what appears as destiny is ultimately arranged by Īśvara; recognizing this, devotees bow to the Lord and acknowledge the overwhelming power of divine providence.
Because they understood the event was not merely accidental but divinely ordained; their response was devotional surrender—offering respect to the Supreme Controller behind the outcome.
When outcomes are beyond control, respond with humility and faith—do your duty responsibly, but accept results as ultimately under the Lord’s arrangement, avoiding resentment and cultivating surrender.
