जयद्रथ-निग्रहः — Jayadratha Restrained, Shamed, and Released
राजसूयं पाण्डवस्य दृष्टवा क्रतुवरं महत् । मम स्पृहा समुत्पन्ना तां सम्पादय सूतज,सूतनन्दन! “पाण्घुपुत्र युधिष्ठिरके उस क्रतुश्रेष्ठ महान् राजसूययज्ञको देखकर मेरे मनमें भी उसे करनेकी इच्छा जाग उठी है। तुम इस इच्छाको पूर्ण करो'
rājasūyaṁ pāṇḍavasya dṛṣṭvā kratuvaraṁ mahat | mama spṛhā samutpannā tāṁ sampādaya sūtaja, sūtanandana ||
Vaiśampāyana berkata: “Setelah menyaksikan korban suci yang agung dan paling utama—Rājasūya milik Pāṇḍava—hasrat pun bangkit dalam hatiku juga. Wahai putera sūta, wahai kebanggaan kaum kusir, penuhilah keinginan ini bagiku.”

The verse highlights how witnessing another’s greatness can awaken ambition; ethically, it invites reflection on whether one’s desire is aligned with dharma and whether the means of fulfilling it are rightful.
A speaker, impressed by the Pāṇḍava’s magnificent Rājasūya sacrifice, expresses a wish to perform the same and urges a sūta’s son—addressed respectfully—to help accomplish that desire.
