Nala’s Reception and Reconciliation
तथा ब्रुवति वायौ तु पुष्पवृष्टि: पपात ह । देवदुन्दुभयो नेदुर्ववी च पवन: शिव:,वायुदेवके ऐसा कहते समय आकाशसे फूलोंकी वर्षा हो रही थी, देवताओंकी दुन्दुभियाँ बज रही थीं और मंगलमय पवन चलने लगा
tathā bruvati vāyau tu puṣpavṛṣṭiḥ papāta ha | devadundubhayo nedur vavī ca pavanaḥ śivaḥ ||
Ketika Vāyu mengucapkan kata-kata itu, hujan bunga pun jatuh dari langit. Genderang surgawi para dewa bergemuruh, dan angin yang membawa pertanda baik mulai berhembus.

Educational Q&A
Righteous speech and action are often marked, in epic narrative, by auspicious signs—flower-rain, divine drums, and a благотворный wind—indicating cosmic endorsement of dharma and truth.
While Vāyu is speaking, the scene is sanctified by supernatural omens: flowers fall from the sky, the gods’ drums resound, and a propitious wind blows, signaling divine approval and elevating the moment’s moral authority.
