Karna–Krishna Dialogue: Omens and Dream-Signs
सर्वौषधिवनस्फीत: फलवानल्पमक्षिक: । निष्पड़को रसवत्तोयो नात्युष्णशिशिर: सुख:
sarvauṣadhivanasphītaḥ phalavān alpamakṣikaḥ | niṣpaḍako rasavattōyo nātyuṣṇaśiśiraḥ sukhaḥ ||
Dijo Sañjaya: «Abunda en toda clase de hierbas medicinales y sus bosques están lozanos; da fruto en profusión y hay pocos insectos que piquen. Sus aguas son claras y de sabor dulce, y el clima no es ni demasiado caluroso ni demasiado frío: todo en él es sosiego y bienestar.»

Educational Q&A
The verse presents markers of an auspicious and well-ordered environment—abundance of healing plants, fruitfulness, clean water, and moderate climate—implying that true welfare is supported by balance, purity, and sustainable prosperity rather than excess.
Sañjaya is describing the qualities of a locale as exceptionally pleasant and prosperous, using natural signs—herbs, forests, fruits, insects, water, and climate—to convey its suitability and благоприятность within the ongoing Udyoga Parva narration.
