Śārṅgakānāṃ Avināśaḥ (Why the Śārṅga Birds Were Spared) | शार्ङ्गकानामविनाशः
सम्पूज्यमान: पौरैश्व ब्राह्मणैश्व सहस्रश: | विवेश भवन राज्ञ: पुरन्दरगृहोपमम्,पुरवासी मनुष्यों तथा सहसों ब्राह्मणोंद्वारा सम्मानित हो उन्होंने राजभवनके भीतर प्रवेश किया। वह घर इन्द्रभवनकी शोभाको भी तिरस्कृत कर रहा था
sampūjyamānaḥ pauraiś ca brāhmaṇaiś ca sahasraśaḥ | viveśa bhavanaṃ rājñaḥ purandaragṛhopamam ||
Dijo Vaiśampāyana: Honrado una y otra vez por los ciudadanos y por miles de brāhmaṇas, entró en el palacio del rey, espléndido como la mansión de Purandara (Indra). La escena subraya un ideal social y ético: la reverencia pública y la estima brahmánica confieren legitimidad y buen augurio al espacio real y a la persona recibida.

Educational Q&A
Public honour (from citizens) and ritual-intellectual sanction (from brāhmaṇas) are portrayed as markers of rightful standing and auspicious entry into royal space, reflecting a dharmic ideal where kingship and society are stabilized through mutual recognition and reverence.
A respected figure, welcomed by the townspeople and many brāhmaṇas, proceeds into the king’s palace, which is described as comparable in splendour to Indra’s celestial mansion.
