सुवर्णष्ठीविनोपाख्यानम्

The Account of Suvarṇaṣṭhīvin

पृथ्वीनाथ! यदुवीर श्रीकृष्णने जो बातें तुम्हारे सामने कही हैं, उन्हींको मैंने उस शोकाकुल राजाको सुनाया ।। संजीवितश्चापि पुनर्वासवानुमते तदा । भवितव्यं तथा तच्च न तच्छक्यमतो<न्यथा,फिर इन्द्रकी अनुमतिसे उस बालकको जीवित भी कर दिया। उसकी वैसी ही होनहार थी। उसे कोई पलट नहीं सकता था

sañjīvitaś cāpi punar vāsavānumate tadā | bhavitavyaṃ tathā tac ca na tac chakyam ato 'nyathā ||

“Tâu bậc chúa tể cõi đất, những điều vị anh hùng dòng Yadu—Śrī Kṛṣṇa—đã nói trước mặt ngài, ta đã đem chính những lời ấy thuật lại cho vị vua đang sầu khổ kia. Rồi sau đó, với sự ưng thuận của Vāsava (Indra), đứa trẻ cũng được phục sinh. Nhưng điều đã định phải xảy đến thì quả đã xảy đến đúng như thế; vì vậy không thể làm cho khác đi.”

Educational Q&A

Even when extraordinary help—such as divine consent—brings a reversal like revival, the Mahābhārata emphasizes that the larger inevitability (bhavitavya) still unfolds; one should perform dharma and accept that not everything can be altered by will.

The speaker reports that, with Indra’s approval, a child was brought back to life; nevertheless, the verse concludes that what was destined happened as destined, and it was not possible to make events turn out otherwise.
