Duḥṣanta–Śakuntalā: Gandharva Marriage and Succession Condition
ये पृथिव्यां समुद्भूता राजानो युद्ध दुर्मदा: । महात्मानो यदूनां च ये जाता विपुले कुले
vaiśampāyana uvāca | ye pṛthivyāṃ samudbhūtā rājāno yuddha-durmadāḥ | mahātmāno yadūnāṃ ca ye jātā vipule kule |
Vaiśampāyana dijo: «De aquellos reyes que surgieron en la tierra, embriagados por el frenesí de la guerra, y de aquellos guerreros magnánimos nacidos en el vasto linaje de los Yadus, de todos ellos he expuesto ya su verdadera naturaleza y su origen. Debe escucharse este relato de encarnaciones parciales sin afán de reproche; otorga prosperidad, fama, hijos, larga vida y victoria».
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
Hear the account of divine ‘partial incarnations’ and royal lineages without a fault-finding mindset; such receptive listening is presented as spiritually and socially beneficial, yielding auspicious results like prosperity, fame, progeny, longevity, and victory.
Vaiśampāyana concludes a section describing how various beings on earth—especially war-proud kings and great-souled Yādava kṣatriyas—are connected to divine and semi-divine origins, and he adds a phalaśruti encouraging the listener to hear the episode with a pure attitude.
