Duryodhana’s Śaraṇāgati and the Pāṇḍavas’ Resolve

Gandharva Encounter

मिज्जिकामिज्जिकं चैव मिथुन रुद्रसम्भवम्‌ । नमस्कार्य सदैवेह बालानां हितमिच्छता,मिंजिका-मिंजकका जोड़ा भी भगवान्‌ शंकरसे उत्पन्न हुआ है। अतः बालकोंके हितकी इच्छा रखनेवाले पुरुषोंको चाहिये कि वे सदा इस जोड़ेको नमस्कार करें

miñjikāmiñjikaṃ caiva mithunaṃ rudrasambhavam | namaskāryaṃ sadaiveha bālānāṃ hitam icchatā ||

ਮਿੰਜਿਕਾ ਅਤੇ ਮਿੰਜਿਕ—ਇਹ ਜੋੜਾ ਰੁਦ੍ਰ (ਸ਼ਿਵ) ਤੋਂ ਉਤਪੰਨ ਹੈ। ਇਸ ਲਈ ਜੋ ਕੋਈ ਬੱਚਿਆਂ ਦੀ ਭਲਾਈ ਚਾਹੁੰਦਾ ਹੈ, ਉਹ ਇਸ ਲੋਕ ਵਿੱਚ ਸਦਾ ਇਸ ਜੋੜੇ ਨੂੰ ਨਮਸਕਾਰ ਕਰੇ।

Educational Q&A

The verse teaches that reverence (namaskāra) to certain auspicious, Śiva-origin beings is a dharmic act specifically linked with seeking and securing the welfare of children.

Mārkaṇḍeya identifies Miñjikā and Miñjika as a divinely originated pair from Rudra and instructs that those concerned for children’s well-being should regularly bow to them.
