न स मिथ्याभिशापेन अभिगम्यश्च केनचित् । एक्ष्वाकी सुषुवे पुत्रं शूरमद्भुतमीढुषम्
na sa mithyābhiśāpena abhigamyaśca kenacit | ekṣvākī suṣuve putraṃ śūramadbhutamīḍhuṣam
అతడు అసత్య శాపముచే ఎవరికీ సమీపించదగినవాడు కాడు. అప్పుడు ఏక్ష్వాకీ శూరుడూ, అద్భుతుడూ, స్తుత్యుడైన మీఢుష అనే కుమారుని ప్రసవించింది.
Narrator (contextual speaker not explicit in the single-verse excerpt)
Concept: The divine (or divinely protected) cannot be truly harmed or constrained by false imprecations; dharma manifests through heroic births when needed.
Application: Do not let false accusations define you; anchor in truth and devotion, and let steady conduct become your ‘unapproachability’ to malice.
