ततो मर्त्ये राजकन्या बभूव कृपया हरेः । पुत्रपौत्रसमायुक्ता चिरं भोगं चकार सा
tato martye rājakanyā babhūva kṛpayā hareḥ | putrapautrasamāyuktā ciraṃ bhogaṃ cakāra sā

Narrator (contextual speaker not specified in the provided excerpt)
Concept: Hari’s grace can manifest as auspicious rebirth and sustained prosperity; dharmic enjoyment (bhoga) is framed as a consequence of prior devotion rather than mere chance.
Application: Treat prosperity as stewardship: support temples, feed devotees, maintain truthfulness and generosity so that ‘bhoga’ remains dharmic and does not harden into pride.
