Parīkṣit-janma-saṃkaṭa and Kuntī’s petition to Vāsudeva (परिक्षिज्जन्मसंकटं कुन्त्याः प्रार्थना च)
ततः पात्री: सकरका बहुरूपा मनोरमा:,कुछ ही देरमें अनेक प्रकारके विचित्र, मनोरम एवं बहुसंख्यक सहस्रों सुवर्णमय पात्र निकल आये। कठौते, सुराही, गडुआ, कड़ाह, कलश तथा कटोरे--सभी तरहके बर्तन उपलब्ध हुए
tataḥ pātrīḥ sakarakā bahurūpā manoramāḥ
Então surgiram, em grande número, vasos encantadores de muitas formas—alguns guarnecidos com pequenos ornamentos. No desenrolar dos ritos do Aśvamedha, essa súbita abundância de utensílios de ouro significa a prontidão do rei para dar sem parcimônia, sustentando a hospitalidade sacrificial e o dever ético de distribuir generosamente a sacerdotes e hóspedes.

Educational Q&A
The verse underscores dāna and ritual responsibility: abundance is meaningful when directed toward dharmic purposes—supporting sacrifice, hospitality, and rightful gifting—rather than mere display.
Vaiśampāyana describes the sudden appearance/availability of numerous beautiful, multiform vessels (understood as golden sacrificial utensils), indicating preparations for the Aśvamedha rites and the forthcoming distribution of ritual resources and gifts.
