Śoka-śamana: Kṛṣṇa’s Consolation and Nārada’s Exempla to Sṛñjaya
Chapter 29
एकच्छत्रां महीं चक्रे जैत्रेणेकरथेन य: । “वे अपने रथकी गम्भीर ध्वनिसे पृथ्वीको प्रतिध्वनित करते हुए एकमात्र विजयशील रथके द्वारा इस भूमण्डलका एकछत्र शासन करते थे
ekacchatrāṁ mahīṁ cakre jaitreṇa ekaratheṇa yaḥ |
Wika ni Vāyu: “Inilagay niya ang daigdig sa ilalim ng iisang kapangyarihang naghahari, at sinakop ito sa pamamagitan lamang ng isang nagwawaging karwahe.” Ipinahihiwatig nito ang huwaran ng lakas na walang kapantay at ganap na pamumunong pampolitika—na ang isang karwaheng pandigma ay naging sagisag ng lubos na paghahari.

The verse underscores the classical ideal of sovereign unity (ekacchatra) achieved through decisive strength; it frames political order as something established by unmistakable victory and authority.
Vāyu is describing a figure of extraordinary martial and royal capability—someone who, symbolically ‘with a single victorious chariot,’ brought the whole earth under one rule.
