Akṛtavraṇa’s Account Begins: Gādhi–Satyavatī–Ṛcīka and the Bhārgava Lineage Prelude
यत् तद् भूतहितं कार्य सुरेन्द्रेण निवेदितम् । सम्प्रतिश्रुत्य तत् सर्व भगवॉल्लोकपूजित:
yat tad bhūtahitaṁ kāryaṁ surendreṇa niveditam | sampratiśrutya tat sarvaṁ bhagavāllokapūjitaḥ ||
సమస్త భూతహితార్థమై సురేంద్రుడు నివేదించిన ఆ కార్యమును, లోకపూజ్యుడైన భగవాన్ సంపూర్ణంగా అంగీకరించి సమ్మతి-ప్రతిజ్ఞలను ఇచ్చెను।

Educational Q&A
A righteous undertaking is characterized by bhūtahita—benefit to all beings—and when such a course is advised by a worthy authority, it should be accepted with firm commitment (sampratiśruti), not merely as an idea but as a vowed responsibility.
Akṛtavraṇa reports that Indra proposed a course of action aimed at universal welfare, and that the revered Lord accepted it completely by giving his promise—signaling decisive assent to a dharmic plan.
