Śoka-śamana: Kṛṣṇa’s Consolation and Nārada’s Exempla to Sṛñjaya
Chapter 29
रथे रथे शतं चाश्वा देशजा हेममालिन: । अश्वे अश्वे शतं गावो गवां तद्घदजाविकम्,"प्रत्येक रथके साथ सुवर्णमालाधारी सौ-सौ देशीय घोड़े थे। हर एक अश्वके साथ सौ गायें और एक-एक गायके साथ सौ-सौ भेड़-बकरियाँ प्राप्त हुई थीं
rathe rathe śataṃ cāśvā deśajā hemamālinaḥ | aśve aśve śataṃ gāvo gavāṃ tad ghadajāvikam ||
風神ヴァーユは言った。「戦車一台ごとに、黄金の花輪で飾られた土地産の馬が百頭ずつ備えられていた。馬一頭ごとに牛が百頭添えられ、さらに牛一頭ごとに羊と山羊が百頭ずつ従った。」この一節は、施与された贈り物と富の規模がいかに莫大であったかを示し、ダーナ（布施・施し）の徳と、豊かさによって扶養すべき者を支えるという社会的理想を際立たせている。

Educational Q&A
The verse emphasizes the dharmic ideal of dāna: righteous prosperity is expressed through generous distribution of wealth, especially in forms that sustain society—cattle and livestock—rather than mere hoarding.
Vāyu describes an extraordinary scale of endowments: each chariot is accompanied by a hundred horses; each horse by a hundred cows; and each cow by a hundred sheep and goats—depicting a cascading abundance of gifts or possessions.
