Karna–Krishna Dialogue: Omens and Dream-Signs
सर्वौषधिवनस्फीत: फलवानल्पमक्षिक: । निष्पड़को रसवत्तोयो नात्युष्णशिशिर: सुख:
sarvauṣadhivanasphītaḥ phalavān alpamakṣikaḥ | niṣpaḍako rasavattōyo nātyuṣṇaśiśiraḥ sukhaḥ ||
Sañjaya dit : «Il regorge de toutes sortes d’herbes médicinales et ses forêts sont luxuriantes ; les fruits y abondent et les insectes piqueurs y sont rares. Les eaux en sont limpides et douces au goût, et le climat n’est ni trop chaud ni trop froid — tout y est aisance et bien-être.»

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.
