Adhyāya 62: Marutta’s Treasure and the Pāṇḍavas’ Auspicious Departure (मरुत्तस्य धनप्राप्त्युपक्रमः)
प्रभावाद् वासुदेवस्य मम व्याहरणादपि । पाण्डवानामयं चान्ते पालयिष्यति मेदिनीम्,“भगवान् श्रीकृष्णके प्रभावसे और मेरे आशीर्वादसे वह पाण्डवोंके बाद सम्पूर्ण पृथ्वीका पालन करेगा”
prabhāvād vāsudevasya mama vyāharaṇād api | pāṇḍavānām ayaṃ cānte pālayiṣyati medinīm ||
Berkat daya ilahi Vāsudeva, dan juga karena kekuatan ucapanku (berkat), dialah yang pada akhirnya, setelah para Pāṇḍava, akan melindungi dan memerintah bumi.

Educational Q&A
Just rule is portrayed as grounded in dharma and sustained by two forces: divine support (Vāsudeva’s prabhāva) and the moral power of a truthful blessing. Authority is validated by the commitment to protect the earth and its beings, not merely by inheritance.
The narrator Vaiśaṃpāyana foretells/affirms that a particular successor will govern the earth after the Pāṇḍavas, attributing this future stability to Kṛṣṇa’s divine influence and to his own spoken benediction.
