यः करोति न ते वाक्यं त्रैलोक्ये न स दृश्यते । गंधर्वैः सहितो गत्वा प्रियां मम समानय
yaḥ karoti na te vākyaṃ trailokye na sa dṛśyate | gaṃdharvaiḥ sahito gatvā priyāṃ mama samānaya
నీ ఆజ్ఞను నిర్వర్తించని వాడు త్రిలోకమందు ఎక్కడా కనిపించడు. కావున గంధర్వులతో కలిసి వెళ్లి నా ప్రియను తీసుకురా.

FAQs
Gandharvas are celestial beings associated with music and royal courts of the gods; in narrative passages they often function as divine attendants or messengers who can travel swiftly between realms.
“Trailokya” commonly denotes the three cosmic realms—heaven, earth, and the nether regions—used here as a hyperbolic way to stress absolute authority and universal reach.
The verse underscores accountability and duty: a subordinate is expected to carry out a rightful instruction promptly, and failure to do so is portrayed as socially and cosmically unacceptable.
