नियोगप्रसङ्गः — The Niyoga Episode: Births of Dhṛtarāṣṭra, Pāṇḍu, and Vidura
अनेन च कुमारेण त्वया दत्तेन कि कृतम् । यस्य चैव कृतेनायं मानुषेषु निवत्स्यति,और तुम्हारे दिये हुए इस पुत्रने कौन-सा कर्म किया है, जिसके कारण यह मनुष्यलोकमें निवास करेगा
anena ca kumāreṇa tvayā dattena kiṁ kṛtam | yasya caiva kṛtenāyaṁ mānuṣeṣu nivatsyati ||
మరియు నీవు ఇచ్చిన ఈ కుమారుడు ఏ కర్మ చేశాడు, దాని కారణంగా ఇతడు మనుష్యలోకంలో నివసించవలసి ఉంటుంది?

Educational Q&A
The verse frames human birth and continued residence in the human realm as connected to karma: a specific deed is implied to determine why the boy will live among humans, highlighting moral causality and responsibility.
Vaiśampāyana poses a pointed question to a listener addressed as ‘you’: regarding a boy ‘given by you,’ he asks what action the boy has performed such that his fate is to dwell in the human world—setting up an explanation of the boy’s past deed and its consequence.
