Shloka 25
ततः प्रीतेन ते राजन् पुनरेतत् कृतं तव । सभार्यस्य वन॑ भूयस्तद् विद्धि मनुजाधिप
tataḥ prītena te rājan punar etat kṛtaṃ tava | sabhāryasya vanaṃ bhūyas tad viddhi manujādhipa ||
Maka, wahai raja, kerana aku berkenan kepadamu, aku telah melakukan hal ini sekali lagi untukmu. Ketahuilah, wahai tuan di antara manusia, bahawa rimba ini telah dipulihkan kembali untukmu dan isterimu—dikembalikan demi milik dan kesejahteraan kalian.

The verse highlights reciprocity grounded in dharma: when a ruler approaches a sage with proper conduct, humility, and right intention, the sage responds with favor. Ethical governance is supported by honoring spiritual authority, and blessings are framed as restoration of rightful welfare rather than mere reward.
Chyavana addresses a king and declares that, being pleased, he has again performed an act on the king’s behalf—specifically, the forest (a domain or refuge) has been restored once more for the king together with his wife. It signals a renewed grant or reinstatement after a prior loss or disruption.
