வைசம்பாயனர் கூறினார்—உத்தங்கன் மித்ரசஹ (சௌதாச) அரசனை அணுகி அடையாளச் சின்னம் வேண்டினான். அப்போது இக்ஷ்வாகு குலத்தின் அந்தச் சிறந்த மன்னன், ராணியிடம் சொல்லும்படி, உத்தங்கனின் செய்தி உண்மையென ஏற்றுக்கொள்ளத் தக்க ஒரு நம்பகச் சான்றுச் சின்னத்தை அளித்தான்.

Educational Q&A

Even truthful speech needs credible verification in social and royal contexts; dharma includes safeguarding communication from fraud by using recognized tokens (abhijñāna).

Uttanka goes to King Mitrasaha and asks for a sign of recognition so that the queen will accept his message; the king provides an identifying token to authenticate Uttanka’s words.
