Adhyāya 62: Marutta’s Treasure and the Pāṇḍavas’ Auspicious Departure (मरुत्तस्य धनप्राप्त्युपक्रमः)
यच्चापि वृष्णिवीरेण कृष्णेन कुरुनन्दन । पुरोक्त तत् तथा भावि मा तेअत्रास्तु विचारणा
vaiśampāyana uvāca |
yac cāpi vṛṣṇivīreṇa kṛṣṇena kurunandana |
pūroktaṃ tat tathā bhāvi mā te 'trāstu vicāraṇā ||
Sinabi ni Vaiśampāyana: “O ligaya ng mga Kuru, anumang sinabi noon ni Kṛṣṇa—ang bayaning kampeon ng mga Vṛṣṇi—ay tiyak na mangyayari nang gayon na gayon. Kaya sa bagay na ito, huwag kang magtanim ng alinlangan o salungat na pag-iisip.”

Educational Q&A
The verse urges steadfast trust in Kṛṣṇa’s prior counsel: what has been rightly declared will unfold as stated, so one should not be shaken by doubt or over-deliberation when dharma-guided guidance has already been given.
In Vaiśampāyana’s narration, he reassures a Kuru prince (addressed as Kurunandana) that Kṛṣṇa’s earlier words are certain to be fulfilled, discouraging hesitation and reinforcing confidence in the course already indicated.
