Shloka 25

तादृशे हि कुले जाता कुले चैव विवर्धिता । सुखात्‌ सुखमनुप्राप्ता हृदाद्‌ हृदमिवागता,वैसे उत्तम कुलमें तुम्हारा जन्म हुआ तथा मेरे श्रेष्ठ कुलमें तुम पालित और पोषित होकर बड़ी हुई। जैसे जलकी धारा एक सरोवरसे निकलकर दूसरे सरोवरमें गिरती है, उसी प्रकार तुम एक सुखमय स्थानसे दूसरे सुखमय स्थानमें आयी हो

tādṛśe hi kule jātā kule caiva vivardhitā | sukhāt sukham anuprāptā hṛdād hṛdam ivāgatā ||

Vaiśampāyana nói: “Quả thật nàng sinh ra trong một dòng dõi cao quý như thế, lại được nuôi dưỡng và trưởng thành trong một gia thất hiển hách khác. Nàng đã đi từ chốn an lạc này sang chốn an lạc khác—như dòng nước rời một hồ rồi đổ vào hồ kế tiếp. Vì vậy đời nàng đã chuyển từ hạnh phúc sang hạnh phúc, không hề gián đoạn về phẩm giá hay sự chăm nom.”

Educational Q&A

The verse underscores the ethical ideal of continuity of dignity and care: a woman of noble birth, when properly nurtured and married into an equally worthy household, should experience an unbroken passage of protection, honor, and well-being—symbolized by water moving naturally from one lake to another.

Vaiśampāyana describes a woman’s fortunate life-course in terms of her birth and upbringing in excellent families, using a vivid simile (from one lake to another) to convey her smooth transition from one secure, happy setting to the next.
