Shloka 10
पाण्डव-वृष्णि-समागमः तथा अश्वमेध-अनुज्ञा | Reunion at the Kuru Court and Authorization of the Aśvamedha
तस्य कृष्णो ददौ हृष्टो बहुरत्नं विशेषतः । तथान्ये वृष्णिशार्दूला नाम चास्याकरोत् प्रभु:
tasya kṛṣṇo dadau hṛṣṭo bahuratnaṃ viśeṣataḥ | tathānye vṛṣṇiśārdūlā nāma cāsyākarot prabhuḥ ||
Вайшампаяна сказал: Возрадовавшись сердцем, Кришна одарил его обильными сокровищами — особенно множеством драгоценных камней. Так же и могучий владыка, вместе с прочими героями рода Вришни, грозными, как тигры, даровал ему имя, отметив его честью и признанием.
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the ethical ideal of honoring worthy persons through dāna (generous gifting) and public recognition. Material gifts (jewels) are paired with social acknowledgment (bestowing a name), showing that dharmic patronage includes both support and esteem.
Vaiśampāyana narrates that Kṛṣṇa, pleased, gives abundant precious gifts to a person being honored, and that Kṛṣṇa together with leading Vṛṣṇi heroes also assigns him a name/title—an act of formal recognition and celebration.
