Adhyāya 45 — Duryodhana’s Distress, Śakuni’s Counsel, and the Summons for Dyūta
शान्तविध्न: सुखारम्भ: प्रभूतधनधान्यवान् । अन्नवान् बहुभक्ष्यश्व केशवेन सुरक्षित:
śāntavighnaḥ sukhārambhaḥ prabhūtadhana-dhānyavān | annavān bahubhakṣyaś ca keśavena surakṣitaḥ ||
Wika ni Vaiśampāyana: Nawala ang mga hadlang sa sakripisyong iyon kaya nagsimula itong maayos. Sagana ito sa yaman at butil, at—dahil sa pag-iingat ni Keśava—hindi kailanman nagkulang ang pagkain. Sa lahat ng oras, may sapat na handa na mga pagkain at masasarap na handog.

Educational Q&A
A righteous public rite succeeds when impediments are removed, resources are responsibly marshalled, and protection is ensured; prosperity is shown not as private hoarding but as sustained provision—especially food—for the community involved in the yajña.
Vaiśampāyana describes a sacrifice whose earlier disturbances have been pacified. With abundant wealth and grain and under Kṛṣṇa’s protection, the ritual proceeds smoothly and continuously, with no shortage of food and plentiful offerings and provisions available throughout.
