Śārṅgakānāṃ Avināśaḥ (Why the Śārṅga Birds Were Spared) | शार्ङ्गकानामविनाशः
दिव्यगर्भोपमै: पुन्रै्व्यूढोरस्कैर्महारथै: । अन्वितो राजशार्दूल पाण्डवा मुदमाप्नुवन्,राजेश्वर! देवपुत्रोंके समान चौड़ी छातीवाले महारथी पुत्रोंसे संयुक्त हो पाण्डव बड़े प्रसन्न हुए

divyagarbhopamaiḥ putrair vyūḍhoraskair mahārathaiḥ |
anvito rājaśārdūla pāṇḍavā mudam āpnuvan rājēśvara ||
Dijo Vaiśampāyana: Oh tigre entre los reyes, oh señor de reyes: provistos de hijos como vástagos divinos, de ancho pecho y grandes guerreros de carro, los Pāṇḍavas se colmaron de alegría. El verso subraya que la prosperidad y la fuerza, cuando se apoyan en linaje legítimo y valor disciplinado, se vuelven fuente de bien común y no mera soberbia.

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights an ideal of righteous strength: legitimate lineage and disciplined martial excellence (mahāratha qualities) bring joy and stability to a royal house when aligned with dharma, not merely as a cause for arrogance.
Vaiśampāyana narrates that the Pāṇḍavas, being accompanied and strengthened by their formidable sons—likened to divine-born heroes—experience great happiness and renewed confidence.
