Ulūpī’s Disclosure and the Saṃjīvana-Maṇi: Arjuna’s Restoration (उलूपी-प्रकटनं संजीवनमणि-स्थापनं च)

उषित्वेह निशामेकां सुखं स्वभवने प्रभो । पुनरश्चानुगमनं कर्तासि जयतां वर

arjuna uvāca |

uṣitveha niśām ekāṁ sukhaṁ svabhavane prabho |

punar aśvānugamanaṁ kartāsi jayatāṁ vara ||

ಪ್ರಭೋ! ಜಯಶಾಲಿಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಶ್ರೇಷ್ಠನೇ! ಇದು ಕೂಡ ನಿಮ್ಮದೇ ಮನೆ. ನಿಮ್ಮ ನಿವಾಸದಲ್ಲಿ ಇಲ್ಲಿ ಒಂದು ರಾತ್ರಿ ಸುಖವಾಗಿ ತಂಗಿ, ಪ್ರಾತಃಕಾಲದಲ್ಲಿ ಮತ್ತೆ ಯಜ್ಞಾಶ್ವದ ಹಿಂದೆ ಹಿಂದೆ ಹೊರಡಿರಿ।

Educational Q&A

The verse highlights dharmic hospitality and respectful conduct: even amid a major royal rite like the Aśvamedha, one should honor guests, offer rest, and act with courtesy while continuing one’s duty.

During the Aśvamedha proceedings, Arjuna addresses a respected person (the honored guest/king) and invites him to stay one night comfortably in his own residence, then resume the next day the task of accompanying the sacrificial horse.
