मदर्थं चैकपुत्रं च निःशेषक्षात्त्रतेजसा । संयुक्तं याचय शुभे विपुत्राऽहं यतः स्थिता
madarthaṃ caikaputraṃ ca niḥśeṣakṣāttratejasā | saṃyuktaṃ yācaya śubhe viputrā'haṃ yataḥ sthitā
«Y también por mí, oh afortunada, pide un único hijo colmado de todo el esplendor del poder kṣatriya, pues permanezco sin hijo.»
Mother (of the maiden; speaking to her daughter)
Listener: brāhmaṇas/ṛṣis addressed as 'dvijāḥ' in the passage
Scene: A queenly mother, sorrowful yet dignified, requests her daughter to seek from the sage a single son blazing with kṣatriya splendor; interior palace setting with attendants, subdued light.
It reflects Purāṇic concern for dharmic continuity—offspring are sought as bearers of specific dharmas (kṣātra-tejas) and family responsibility.
No tīrtha is mentioned in this verse.
A specific boon-request is prescribed: to ask for a son endowed with complete kṣatriya splendor.
