Adhyāya 59: On Giving to the Asker and Supporting the Non-asking (याचक-अयाचक-दाने धर्मः)
पुत्रं तस्थ महाराज ऋचीकं भृगुनन्दनम् । साक्षात् कृत्स्नो धरनुर्वेद: समुपस्थास्यतेडनघ
putraṁ tastha mahārāja ṛcīkaṁ bhṛgunandanam | sākṣāt kṛtsno dhanurvedaḥ samupasthāsyate 'naghāḥ ||
மகாராஜா! ப்ருகு குலத்தின் மகிழ்ச்சியான ருசீகன் எனும் மகன் உனக்கு பிறப்பான். குற்றமற்ற அரசே! முழு தனுர்வேதமும் சாட்சாத் உருவெடுத்து அவன் முன் சேவைக்காக நிற்பதுபோல் தோன்றும்.

The verse highlights that true mastery—especially of powerful knowledge like Dhanurveda—rests on inner purity, disciplined character, and inherited spiritual-cultural excellence; when these are present, knowledge is portrayed as naturally ‘coming’ to the worthy person.
The speaker foretells to the king that a son named Ṛcīka, famed in the Bhṛgu line, will be born, and that the complete Dhanurveda will attend upon him as if personified—indicating extraordinary, almost effortless attainment of martial knowledge.
