Nala’s Reception and Reconciliation
स चतुर्थे ततो वर्षे संगम्य सह भार्यया । सर्वकामै: सुसिद्धार्थो लब्धवान् परमां मुदम्,चौथे वर्षमें अपनी प्यारी पत्नीसे मिलकर सम्पूर्ण कामनाओंसे सफलमनोरथ हो नल अत्यन्त आनन्दमें निमग्न हो गये
sa caturthe tato varṣe saṅgamya saha bhāryayā | sarvakāmaiḥ susiddhārtho labdhavān paramāṃ mudam ||
Then, in the fourth year, Nala was reunited with his wife. Having his wishes fulfilled and his aims fully accomplished, he attained the highest joy—signaling the ethical restoration of marital fidelity, patience through adversity, and the rightful return of prosperity after endurance.
