Jarā’s Account and the Enthronement of Jarāsandha (जरासंधोत्पत्तिः अभिषेकश्च)
ते तदाम्र द्विधा कृत्वा भक्षयामासतु: शुभे । भावित्वादपि चार्थस्य सत्यवाक्यतया मुने:
te tad āmraṃ dvidhā kṛtvā bhakṣayāmāsatuḥ śubhe | bhāvitvād api cārthasya satyavākyatayā muneḥ ||
ते तदाम्रं द्विधा कृत्वा भक्षयामासतुः शुभे । भावित्वादपि चार्थस्य सत्यवाक्यतया मुनेः ॥
श्रीकृष्ण उवाच
Educational Q&A
Two ideas are emphasized: (1) bhāvitva—what is destined tends to unfold, and (2) satyavākya—the efficacy of a sage’s truthful speech, which is portrayed as spiritually potent and capable of bringing about concrete results.
Two queens divide a mango given in a sacred context and eat it. As a consequence—framed as both destiny and the sage’s truth-power—they become pregnant, and the king rejoices upon seeing their conception.
