अलंबलवधः (Alaṃbala-vadhaḥ) / The Slaying of Alaṃbala and the Advance toward Karṇa
प्रयच्छन्तीह ये कामान् देवत्वमुपयान्ति ते । “आचार्योंसे विद्या ग्रहण करके जो श्रेष्ठ पुरुष उन्हें उनकी अभीष्ट वस्तुएँ देते हैं, वे देवत्वको प्राप्त होते हैं
prayacchantīha ye kāmān devatvam upayānti te |
Sañjaya said: Those who, in this very world, grant desired boons and fulfill the wishes of worthy recipients—especially as a grateful return for learning received from one’s teacher—attain the state of the gods. The verse frames generosity and reverence toward the ācārya as a dharmic act whose fruit is exalted, even divine, status.
