ဇနမေဇယက မေးလေ၏— «အဘယ်အကြောင်းကြောင့် ယဒုနန္ဒန (ဗလာရာမ) သည် ထိုနေရာ၌ အံ့ဩသွားသနည်း။ အဘယ်အကြောင်းကြောင့် ထိုမြစ်မြတ်သည် စီးဆင်းခြင်းကို ရပ်တန့်သနည်း၊ ဤအမှုသည် မည်သို့ ဖြစ်ပေါ်လာသနည်း»

Educational Q&A
The verse models dharmic inquiry: when an extraordinary event occurs (astonishment, a river stopping), one should seek the underlying cause (hetu) and the precise manner (katham), emphasizing careful questioning as a path to understanding.
In the frame dialogue, King Janamejaya asks the narrator to explain a specific episode: why K99a (Yadunandana) was amazed and what caused an eminent river to cease or turn back, requesting the causal explanation and sequence of events.
