Shloka 14
जयद्रथविमोचन–पलायनवृत्तान्तः
Recovery of Draupadī and Jayadratha’s flight
प्रीत्या चाहं प्रयच्छामि हिरण्यं यावदिच्छसि । समेत्य रुक्मिणा कर्ण: पाण्ड्यंशैलं च सोडगमत्
prītyā cāhaṃ prayacchāmi hiraṇyaṃ yāvad icchasi | sametya rukmiṇā karṇaḥ pāṇḍyaṃśailaṃ ca soḍagamat |
Vaiśampāyana dijo: «Por buena voluntad, te daré gustoso tanto oro como desees.» Tras reunirse con Rukmī, Karṇa partió y llegó al monte Pāṇḍya.
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse highlights dāna offered with prīti (goodwill): generosity is not merely transactional but can create bonds, obligations, and alliances that influence later actions and outcomes.
A speaker offers to give as much gold as desired; then Karṇa, having joined with Rukmī, proceeds onward and reaches the Pāṇḍya mountain, marking a movement tied to companionship and resource support.
