Shloka 10
अनपत्यस्य पुत्रो<यं देवैर्दत्तो ध्रुवं मम । इत्युक्त्वा तं ददौ पुत्र राधायै स महीपते,“मुझ पुत्रहीनको अवश्य ही देवताओंने दया करके यह पुत्र प्रदान किया है।” राजन! ऐसा कहकर अधिरथने वह पुत्र राधाको दे दिया
anapatyasya putro 'yaṃ devair datto dhruvaṃ mama | ity uktvā taṃ dadau putra rādhāyai sa mahīpate ||
വൈശമ്പായനൻ പറഞ്ഞു—അവൻ പറഞ്ഞു: “ഞാൻ സന്താനഹീനൻ; ഈ പുത്രൻ തീർച്ചയായും ദേവന്മാർ എനിക്കു നൽകിയ ദാനമാണ്.” രാജാവേ! ഇങ്ങനെ പറഞ്ഞ് അധിരഥൻ ആ ബാലനെ രാധയ്ക്കു പുത്രനായി ഏല്പിച്ചു।

Educational Q&A
The verse frames parenthood and household responsibility as dharma: a child received through extraordinary means is accepted with gratitude as a divine trust, and is placed within a family through a deliberate act of care and commitment.
Adhiratha, who has no children, declares that the boy has been granted by the gods and then hands the child over to his wife Rādhā, effectively bringing him into their household as their son.
