Dialogue of Father and Son (Pitṛputra-saṃvāda) — Mohinī Episode
इयं हि योग्या कनकावदाता गृहाय तुभ्यं जगतीपतीश । एवं विधा मे जननी यदि स्यात्कोऽन्योऽस्ति मत्तः सुकृती मनुष्यः ॥ ४७ ॥
iyaṃ hi yogyā kanakāvadātā gṛhāya tubhyaṃ jagatīpatīśa | evaṃ vidhā me jananī yadi syātko'nyo'sti mattaḥ sukṛtī manuṣyaḥ || 47 ||
Nàng này quả thật xứng đáng—vàng rực và chói sáng—để vào gia thất của Ngài, hỡi bậc Chúa tể cõi đời. Nếu một người như thế trở thành mẹ ta, còn ai trong loài người may mắn hơn ta nữa?

FAQs
The verse highlights the Purāṇic idea of sukṛti (accumulated merit): worldly circumstances—such as an auspicious family situation—are portrayed as fruits of prior dharma and merit.
While not explicitly preaching bhakti, it reflects a common Purāṇic frame: good fortune is linked to past righteousness and divine order, which in broader Narada Purana teaching supports devotion as a source of auspicious outcomes.
No specific Vedāṅga topic (like Vyākaraṇa, Jyotiṣa, or ritual procedure) is taught in this verse; it is primarily narrative speech emphasizing merit (sukṛti) and auspiciousness.
