नियोगप्रसङ्गः — The Niyoga Episode: Births of Dhṛtarāṣṭra, Pāṇḍu, and Vidura
यस्मान्मे वसवो जह्र्गा वै दोग्ध्रीं सुवालधिम् । तस्मात् सर्वे जनिष्यन्ति मानुषेषु न संशय:
yasmān me vasavo jahruḥ vai dogdhrīṃ suvaladhim | tasmāt sarve janiṣyanti mānuṣeṣu na saṃśayaḥ ||
“چونکہ وسوؤں نے میری خوبصورت دُم والی دودھ دینے والی گائے کو چرا لیا ہے، اس لیے وہ سب کے سب انسانوں میں جنم لیں گے—اس میں کوئی شک نہیں۔”

Educational Q&A
Even powerful or divine beings are bound by dharma: wrongful taking (theft/abduction) produces inevitable karmic consequence, here expressed as compulsory birth in the human realm.
The speaker declares a consequence for the Vasus because they abducted his milch-cow with a beautiful tail; as a result, all of them are destined to be born as humans, without doubt.
