Chapter 29
समृद्धों युवनाश्वस्य जठरे यो महात्मन: । पूषदाज्योद्धव: श्रीमांस्त्रितोकविजयी नृप:
samṛddho yuvanāśvasya jaṭhare yo mahātmanaḥ | pūṣadājyoddhavaḥ śrīmāṃs trilokavijayī nṛpaḥ |
वायु ने कहा—त्रिलोकविजयी, श्रीमान् राजा मान्धाता पुत्रोत्पत्ति हेतु तैयार किए गए पृषदाज्य (दधि-मिश्रित घी) से उत्पन्न हुए थे और वे महात्मा युवनाश्व के उदर में ही पले-बढ़े थे।

The verse underscores the Mahābhārata theme that destiny and dharma can operate through extraordinary means: rightful kingship and greatness may arise not only from ordinary biology but also from ritual power and divine arrangement, emphasizing responsibility rather than mere birth-conditions.
Vāyu describes the miraculous origin of the famed king (identified in the traditional gloss as Māndhātṛ): he is said to have arisen from a special ghee-oblation prepared for producing a son, and to have been sustained within King Yuvanāśva’s belly/womb.
