Śārṅgakānāṃ Avināśaḥ (Why the Śārṅga Birds Were Spared) | शार्ङ्गकानामविनाशः
सुभद्राका कुन्ती और द्रौपदीकी सेवामें उपस्थित होना प्रीत्या परमया युक्ता आशीर्भिय्युज्जतातुलाम् । ततो$भिगम्य त्वरिता पूर्णेन्दुसद्शानना
Subhadrā ca Kuntī ca Draupadī-sevāyāṃ upasthitā prītyā paramayā yuktā āśīrbhir yujjatātulām | tato 'bhigamya tvaritā pūrṇendu-sadṛśānanā ||
Sinabi ni Vaiśaṃpāyana: Si Subhadrā, sa tapat na paglilingkod kina Kuntī at Draupadī, ay puspos ng pinakadakilang pagmamahal at naghandog ng mga basbas na walang kapantay. Pagkaraan, nagmadali siyang lumapit sa kanila—ang mukha’y nagniningning na parang kabilugan ng buwan—hudyat ng magalang na pagpapakumbaba at ng huwarang asal: paggalang sa matatanda at sa mga kabiyak sa pamamagitan ng taos-pusong paglilingkod.
