जयद्रथ-निग्रहः — Jayadratha Restrained, Shamed, and Released
राजसूयं पाण्डवस्य दृष्टवा क्रतुवरं महत् । मम स्पृहा समुत्पन्ना तां सम्पादय सूतज
rājasūyaṁ pāṇḍavasya dṛṣṭvā kratuvaraṁ mahat | mama spṛhā samutpannā tāṁ sampādaya sūtaja, sūtanandana ||
Wika ni Vaiśampāyana: “Nang aking masilayan ang dakila at pinakadakilang handog—ang Rājasūya ng Pāṇḍava—sumibol din sa aking puso ang pagnanais. O anak ng sūta, o ligaya ng angkan ng mga tagapaghatid-karwahe, tuparin mo ang hangaring ito para sa akin.”

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights how witnessing another’s greatness can awaken ambition; ethically, it invites reflection on whether one’s desire is aligned with dharma and whether the means of fulfilling it are rightful.
A speaker, impressed by the Pāṇḍava’s magnificent Rājasūya sacrifice, expresses a wish to perform the same and urges a sūta’s son—addressed respectfully—to help accomplish that desire.
