तव कर्माण्यमोघानि व्रतचर्या च भाविनि । वे बोलीं--“कल्याणि! पाञज्चालराजकुमारी! तुम धन्य हो, जो इन पाँच महान् पुरुषोंकी सेवामें उसी प्रकार उपस्थित रहती हो, जैसे गौतमवंशमें उत्पन्न हुई जटिला अनेक महर्षियोंकी सेवा करती हैं। भाविनि! तुम्हारे सभी पुण्यकर्म अमोघ हैं और समस्त व्रतचर्या सफल है'
tava karmāṇy amoghāni vratacaryā ca bhāvini |
Vaiśampāyana said: “O noble lady, your deeds are never fruitless; and your disciplined observances and vows, too, will surely bear their intended result.”

Educational Q&A
Ethically grounded action and sincere observance of vows are not wasted; they reliably produce moral and spiritual fruit. The verse affirms the efficacy of disciplined conduct (vrata-caryā) and righteous deeds (karmāṇi) within a dharma framework.
The narrator Vaiśampāyana reports a statement praising a noble woman’s conduct, assuring her that her deeds and vow-practice are ‘amogha’—certain to succeed and yield results—thereby reinforcing confidence in dharmic discipline.
