Shloka 4
मयस्य प्रतिकृतिः — Maya’s Offer and the Commissioning of the Sabhā
अर्जुन उवाच कृतमेव त्वया सर्व स्वस्ति गच्छ महासुर । प्रीतिमान् भव मे नित्य॑ं प्रीतिमन्तो वयं च ते
arjuna uvāca | kṛtam eva tvayā sarvaṃ svasti gaccha mahāsura | prītimān bhava me nityaṃ prītimanto vayaṃ ca te ||
Arjuna disse: “Pelo que fizeste, é como se tivesses retribuído tudo por completo. Vai em bem-estar, ó grande Asura. Conserva constante afeição por mim; e nós também permaneceremos sempre afetuosos para contigo.”
अर्जुन उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse highlights ethical reciprocity and gracious closure: one should acknowledge another’s good act as sufficient repayment, offer blessings, and maintain goodwill rather than prolonging obligation or hostility.
Arjuna addresses a powerful Asura, accepts that the Asura’s action has fully repaid a prior favor, blesses him with safety, and parts on terms of mutual affection.
