Adhyaya 16The Son’s Counsel on Renunciation and the Anasuya–Mandavya Episode: The Suspension of Sunrise and the Power of Pativrata

धन्यास्म्यनुगृहीतास्मि देवैश्चाप्यवलोकिता ।

यन्मे प्रकृतिकल्याणि ! श्रद्धां वर्धयसे पुनः ॥

dhanyāsmy anugṛhītāsmi devaiś cāpy avalokitā | yan me prakṛti-kalyāṇi śraddhāṃ vardhayase punaḥ ||

నేను ధన్యుడను, కృతార్థుడను, దేవతలచేత కూడా గౌరవింపబడినవాడను—ఎందుకంటే, స్వభావతః శుభమయినవాడవు నీవు, నా శ్రద్ధను మరల పెంపొందిస్తున్నావు।

FAQs

Dharma is sustained by śraddhā; receiving instruction from the virtuous is portrayed as a renewal of inner conviction rather than mere information.

Ancillary ethical discourse; not an element of sarga/pratisarga/vaṃśa/manvantara/vaṃśānucarita.

‘Being seen by the gods’ can be read as the inner sense of alignment: when faith is strengthened, one’s actions become ritually and morally ‘visible’ to the divine order (ṛta/dharma).
