Shloka 28
Jarā’s Account and the Enthronement of Jarāsandha (जरासंधोत्पत्तिः अभिषेकश्च)
तस्योपविष्टस्य मुनेरुत्सड़ेश निपपात ह । अवातमशुकादष्टमेकमाम्रफलं किल,उसी समय वहाँ बैठे हुए मुनिकी गोदमें एक आमका फल गिरा। वह न हवाके चलनेसे गिरा था, न किसी तोतेने ही उस फलमें अपनी चोंच गड़ायी थी
tasyopaviṣṭasya muner utsaṅge nipapāta ha | avātam aśukādaṣṭam ekam āmraphalaṁ kila ||
ขณะฤๅษีนั่งอยู่เช่นนั้น ผลมะม่วงผลหนึ่งก็ตกลงบนตักของท่าน มิใช่เพราะลมพัดให้ร่วง และมิใช่เพราะนกแก้วจิกกัดจนหลุด
श्रीकृष्ण उवाच

The verse highlights an event presented as beyond ordinary physical causation (neither wind nor a bird), nudging the listener to consider that outcomes may arise from subtle, unseen factors—often framed in the epic as the working of destiny, merit, or dharma.
A sage is seated, and a mango drops directly into his lap. The text explicitly rules out common causes (wind or a parrot’s pecking), marking the incident as noteworthy—an omen-like occurrence that sets up or supports the surrounding narrative point.
