Shloka 33
Jarā’s Account and the Enthronement of Jarāsandha (जरासंधोत्पत्तिः अभिषेकश्च)
ते तदाम्र द्विधा कृत्वा भक्षयामासतु: शुभे । भावित्वादपि चार्थस्य सत्यवाक्यतया मुने:,उन दोनों शुभस्वरूपा रानियोंने उस आमके दो टुकड़े करके एक-एक टुकड़ा खा लिया। होनेवाली बात होकर ही रहती है, इसलिये तथा मुनिकी सत्यवादिताके प्रभावसे वह फल खानेके कारण दोनों रानियोंको गर्भ रह गये। उन्हें गर्भवती हुई देखकर राजाको बड़ी प्रसन्नता हुई
te tad āmraṃ dvidhā kṛtvā bhakṣayāmāsatuḥ śubhe | bhāvitvād api cārthasya satyavākyatayā muneḥ ||
Então aquelas duas rainhas auspiciosas dividiram aquela manga em duas partes e comeram cada uma a sua porção. Pois o que está destinado deve acontecer, e pelo poder da veracidade do sábio, o comer daquele fruto fez com que ambas concebessem. Ao vê-las grávidas, o rei encheu-se de grande alegria.

Educational Q&A
Two ideas are emphasized: (1) bhāvitva—what is destined tends to unfold, and (2) satyavākya—the efficacy of a sage’s truthful speech, which is portrayed as spiritually potent and capable of bringing about concrete results.
Two queens divide a mango given in a sacred context and eat it. As a consequence—framed as both destiny and the sage’s truth-power—they become pregnant, and the king rejoices upon seeing their conception.
