Adhyāya 59: On Giving to the Asker and Supporting the Non-asking (याचक-अयाचक-दाने धर्मः)
पितामहनियोगाद् वै नान्यथैतद् भविष्यति । ब्रह्माजीकी प्रेरणासे गाधिकी पत्नी और पुत्री--ये स्त्रियाँ इस महान् परिवर्तनमें कारण बनेंगी, यह अवश्यम्भावी है। इसे कोई पलट नहीं सकता ।।
pitāmaha-niyogād vai nānyathaitad bhaviṣyati | brahmājī-kī preraṇā-se gādhikī patnī ca putrī ca—imāḥ striyaḥ asmin mahati parivartane kāraṇaṁ bhaviṣyanti; etad avaśyambhāvī, na kaścid etat parāvartayituṁ śaknoti || tṛtīye puruṣe tubhyaṁ brāhmaṇatvam upaiṣyati ||
पितामहांच्या नियमानुसार हे अन्यथा होणार नाही. ब्रह्म्याच्या प्रेरणेने गाधीची पत्नी व कन्या—या स्त्रिया या महान् परिवर्तनाच्या साधिका ठरतील; हे अटळ आहे, कोणीही याला उलटवू शकत नाही. आणि तिसऱ्या पिढीत तू ब्राह्मणत्व प्राप्त करशील।

Educational Q&A
The verse emphasizes the force of divine ordinance and the inevitability of certain outcomes: when a change is set in motion by the cosmic authority (Pitāmaha/Brahmā), it cannot be reversed, and one should understand destiny unfolding through human instruments.
A speaker explains that a major reversal is predetermined by the Grandsire’s command; Brahmā’s prompting will make particular women (Gādhikā’s wife and daughter) the immediate causes, and the addressee is assured that brahminhood will be attained in the third generation.
