Jarāsandha’s fall, liberation of kings, and request for support
यस्यां यस्यामवस्थायां यद् यत् कर्म करोति यः । तस्यां तस्यामवस्थायां तत् फलं समवाप्नुयात्,जो जिस-जिस अवस्थामें जो-जो कर्म करता है, वह उसी-उसी अवस्थामें उसके फलको प्राप्त करता है
yasyāṁ yasyām avasthāyāṁ yad yat karma karoti yaḥ | tasyāṁ tasyām avasthāyāṁ tat phalaṁ samavāpnuyāt ||
Seja qual for a condição em que alguém se encontre, e seja qual for o ato que nela pratique, nessa mesma condição receberá o fruto correspondente.

Śrīkṛṣṇa states a general principle about karma and its fruits, framing how deeds inevitably yield fitting outcomes—an ethical maxim applied to the unfolding events of the epic.
