युधन्वोवाच पुत्रसस््नेहं परित्यज्य यस्त्वं धर्मे व्यवस्थित: । अनुजानामि ते पुत्र जीवत्वेष शतं समा:
Yudhanvovāca putrasnehaṃ parityajya yastvaṃ dharme vyavasthitaḥ | anujānāmi te putra jīvatveṣa śataṃ samāḥ ||
Yudhanva said: “Since you have set aside attachment born of love for your son and have remained firmly established in dharma, I grant your son leave to live for a full hundred years.”

Educational Q&A
Steadfastness in dharma requires mastering personal attachment; when one renounces partiality born of familial affection and stands firm in righteousness, one becomes worthy of approval and blessing.
A speaker named Yudhanva addresses someone as “son,” praising him for abandoning son-centered attachment and remaining established in dharma, and then grants him permission/boon to live for a hundred years.
