Shloka 92
ततः सा राममभ्येत्य जननी मे महानदी । मदर्थ तमृषिं वीक्ष्य क्षमयामास भार्गवम्
tataḥ sā rāmam abhyetya jananī me mahānadī | madarthaṃ tam ṛṣiṃ vīkṣya kṣamayāmāsa bhārgavam ||
Pagkaraan, ang aking ina—ang dakilang ilog na Mahānadī—ay lumapit kay Rāma. Nang makita niya roon ang pantas na si Bhārgava dahil sa akin, humingi siya ng kapatawaran—inaamin ang pagkakasalang umusbong dahil sa akin at sinikap ibalik ang nararapat sa pamamagitan ng pagpapakumbaba at pakikipagkasundo.

Educational Q&A
When conflict or wrongdoing arises through one’s actions, dharma is served not only by strength but also by humility: seeking forgiveness and making amends can restore moral order and reduce further harm.
Bhīṣma narrates that his mother, the great river Mahānadī, approached Rāma (Paraśurāma). Recognizing that the sage Bhārgava had been drawn into the situation because of Bhīṣma, she attempted to appease him and asked for his forgiveness.
