ಸಂಜಯನು ಹೇಳಿದನು—ಓ ನರೇಂದ್ರ! ನಿನ್ನ ಪುತ್ರನು ಕುಲ, ಶೀಲ, ದಮ (ಸಂಯಮ) ಮೊದಲಾದ ಸದ್ಗುಣಗಳಿಂದ ವೃದ್ಧಿಯಾಗಿ, ಆ ಗುಣಬಲದಿಂದ ಎರಡೂ ವಂಶಗಳಿಗೆ ತಕ್ಕವನಾಗಿ, ಅವುಗಳಿಗೆ ಸದೃಶನಾಗಿ ನಿಲ್ಲುವನು।

Educational Q&A
Nobility is validated not merely by birth but by lived virtues—good conduct (śīla) and self-restraint (dama). A worthy heir harmonizes and upholds the honor of both parental lineages through ethical qualities.
Sañjaya offers a character-forecast or reassurance to a king: the king’s son will be endowed with virtues such as noble conduct and self-control, and will be fitting to both family lines—implying legitimacy, stability, and moral fitness amid the larger wartime context of the Drona Parva.
