The Glory of the Vāsudeva Hymn: Boons, Japa across the Yugas, and Ascent to Vaikuṇṭha
यं यं तु वांछते कामं स स तस्य भविष्यति । क्षत्रियो जयमाप्नोति धनधान्यैरलंकृतः
yaṃ yaṃ tu vāṃchate kāmaṃ sa sa tasya bhaviṣyati | kṣatriyo jayamāpnoti dhanadhānyairalaṃkṛtaḥ
Qualquer desejo que alguém anseie—cada um desses desejos se cumprirá para ele. Um kṣatriya alcança a vitória e fica ornado de riquezas e abundância de grãos.
Unspecified (narrative voice not provided in the input excerpt)
Concept: Mantra-japa (and the praised practice in context) yields both iṣṭa-kāma fulfillment and social-order-specific fruits such as kṣatriya victory and prosperity.
Application: Align desires with dharma: use japa to stabilize mind, then pursue duties (leadership, protection, livelihood) without cruelty or greed.

Sandhi Resolution Notes: जयमाप्नोति = जयम् + आप्नोति; धनधान्यैः is dvandva (samāhāra) in instrumental plural; अलंकृतः is kta-kr̥danta from √कृ with उपसर्ग/निपात 'अलम्' (to adorn).
It states a results-oriented promise: desired aims are fulfilled, and specifically a kṣatriya gains victory along with prosperity (wealth and provisions).
The pair (dhana–dhānya) commonly signifies complete prosperity—both monetary resources and tangible sustenance/food security.
Not in this excerpt; it reads like a phalaśruti-style statement of benefits, with the implied practice or context lying in the surrounding verses of the chapter.
