Śānti-parva Adhyāya 30: Nārada–Parvata Samaya-bhaṅga, Śāpa, and the Marriage of Sukumārī
तां पर्वतस्ततो दृष्ट्वा प्रद्रवन्तीमनिन्दिताम् । अब्रवीत् तव भर्तैष नात्र कार्या विचारणा
tāṃ parvatastato dṛṣṭvā pradravantīmaninditām | abravīt tava bhartaiṣa nātra kāryā vicāraṇā ||
Seeing that blameless, virtuous princess running toward him, Parvata said, “Lady, this is indeed your husband; there is no need for any further doubt or deliberation.” The moment underscores ethical clarity: when truth is evident and dharma is at stake, hesitation and suspicion should be set aside.
श्रीकृष्ण उवाच
When the truth is clear and dharma requires a decisive response, one should not prolong doubt or over-deliberation; ethical clarity calls for firm recognition and right action.
A blameless princess runs forward; Parvata, seeing her, reassures her that the man before her is truly her husband and that there is no need for further questioning.
