Duryodhana’s Śaraṇāgati and the Pāṇḍavas’ Resolve
Gandharva Encounter
आस्थाय रुचिरं याति पुष्पकं नरवाहन: । उनके आगे-आगे गुह्मकोंसहित नरवाहन धनाध्यक्ष भगवान् कुबेर मनोहर पुष्पक विमानपर बैठकर जा रहे थे
āsthāya ruciraṃ yāti puṣpakaṃ naravāhanaḥ |
Mārkaṇḍeya nói: “Cưỡi lên cỗ xa bay Puṣpaka lộng lẫy, Naravāhana tiếp tục tiến bước. Đi trước họ, Đức Kubera—Naravāhana, chúa tể tài bảo—ngự trên chiếc Puṣpaka mỹ lệ, cùng đoàn tùy tùng Guhyaka tháp tùng.”
मार्कण्डेय उवाच
Educational Q&A
Prosperity and authority (symbolized by Kubera and the Puṣpaka) are portrayed as legitimate and auspicious when they move within the bounds of dharma—emphasizing stewardship, order, and rightful guardianship rather than greed.
Mārkaṇḍeya describes Naravāhana (Kubera) mounting the splendid Puṣpaka vimāna and proceeding onward, presenting a scene of divine movement and grandeur within the ongoing tale.
