Translation
Vaiśaṃpāyana said: “Blessed indeed are those, my son, who will behold you once more within the range of youth—like a tawny-maned lion born amid the Himalayan forests.” The line conveys affectionate assurance and praise: the return of vigor is portrayed not as mere physical renewal, but as a restoration of rightful strength and dignity that inspires confidence in others.
