अनपत्यस्य पुत्रो<यं देवैर्दत्तो ध्रुवं मम । इत्युक्त्वा तं ददौ पुत्र राधायै स महीपते,“मुझ पुत्रहीनको अवश्य ही देवताओंने दया करके यह पुत्र प्रदान किया है।” राजन! ऐसा कहकर अधिरथने वह पुत्र राधाको दे दिया
anapatyasya putro 'yaṃ devair datto dhruvaṃ mama | ity uktvā taṃ dadau putra rādhāyai sa mahīpate ||
ไวศัมปายนะกล่าวว่า—เขากล่าวว่า “เราผู้ไร้บุตร บุตรคนนี้ย่อมเป็นของประทานจากเหล่าเทวะอย่างแน่นอน” แล้วกล่าวดังนั้น โอ้พระราชา อธิรถะจึงมอบเด็กนั้นให้ราธา รับไว้เป็นบุตร

The verse frames parenthood and household responsibility as dharma: a child received through extraordinary means is accepted with gratitude as a divine trust, and is placed within a family through a deliberate act of care and commitment.
Adhiratha, who has no children, declares that the boy has been granted by the gods and then hands the child over to his wife Rādhā, effectively bringing him into their household as their son.
