Jarā’s Account and the Enthronement of Jarāsandha (जरासंधोत्पत्तिः अभिषेकश्च)
तयो: समभवद् गर्भ: फलप्राशनसम्भव: । ते च दृष्टवा स नृपति: परां मुदमवाप ह,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
tayoḥ samabhavad garbhaḥ phalaprāśanasambhavaḥ | te ca dṛṣṭvā sa nṛpatiḥ parāṃ mudam avāpa ha ||

The episode underscores the inevitability of what is destined to occur, and the efficacious truthfulness of the sage whose words and gift bear fruit in reality.
