Jarāsandha’s fall, liberation of kings, and request for support
यस्यां यस्यामवस्थायां यद् यत् कर्म करोति यः । तस्यां तस्यामवस्थायां तत् फलं समवाप्नुयात्,जो जिस-जिस अवस्थामें जो-जो कर्म करता है, वह उसी-उसी अवस्थामें उसके फलको प्राप्त करता है
yasyāṁ yasyām avasthāyāṁ yad yat karma karoti yaḥ | tasyāṁ tasyām avasthāyāṁ tat phalaṁ samavāpnuyāt ||
যে যে অবস্থায় যে যে কর্ম করে, সে সেই সেই অবস্থাতেই তার ফল লাভ করে।

Educational Q&A
Actions bear results that correspond to the doer’s specific situation and conduct; one experiences the fruit of one’s deeds in the very context in which they are performed, emphasizing personal responsibility and ethical accountability.
Śrīkṛṣṇa states a general principle about karma and its fruits, framing how deeds inevitably yield fitting outcomes—an ethical maxim applied to the unfolding events of the epic.
