अध्याय १२२ — कृष्णस्य दुर्योधनं प्रति नीत्युपदेशः
Kṛṣṇa’s Ethical Counsel to Duryodhana
अभिवृष्ट श्न॒ वर्षेण नानापुष्पसुगन्धिना । परिष्वक्त श्च पुण्येन वायुना पुण्यगन्धिना,वहाँ उनके ऊपर नाना प्रकारके सुगन्धयुक्त पुष्पोंकी वर्षा हुई। पवित्र सौरभसे सुवासित पावन समीर उनका सब ओरसे आलिंगन कर रहा था
abhivṛṣṭaś ca varṣeṇa nānāpuṣpasugandhinā | pariṣvaktaś ca puṇyena vāyunā puṇyagandhinā ||
Nārada berkata: “Kemudian turunlah hujan bunga yang pelbagai, semerbak harum. Pada saat yang sama, angin suci yang bersih dan wangi seolah-olah memeluk mereka dari segenap penjuru, seakan alam sendiri sedang memuliakan keberuntungan mereka.”

Nārada describes an auspicious scene in which those present are honored by a rain of fragrant flowers, while a pure, sweet-smelling wind surrounds them like an embrace—an epic motif indicating sanctity and elevated significance of the moment.
