Shloka 7
Śiva-darśana through Tapas and Stuti (उपमन्यु–कृष्ण संवादः)
उमोवाच एवं भविष्यत्यमरप्रभाव नाहं मृषा जातु वदे कदाचित् | भार्यासहस्राणि च षोडशैव तासु प्रियत्वं च तथाक्षयं च
umovāca—evaṁ bhaviṣyaty amaraprabhāva nāhaṁ mṛṣā jātu vade kadācit | bhāryāsahasrāṇi ca ṣoḍaśaiva tāsu priyatvaṁ ca tathākṣayaṁ ca ||
乌玛说道：“必将如此，噢具天神般辉耀的奎师那。我从不在任何时候说虚妄之言。你将有一万六千位妻子；在她们之中，对你的爱恋将恒久不衰，而福泽富饶亦将绵延不绝。”
श्रीकृष्ण उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse foregrounds satya (truthfulness) as a defining ethical power: Umā validates her promise by asserting she never speaks falsehood, and the boon is framed as a reliable, dharmically grounded utterance whose results are ‘akṣaya’ (unfailing).
Umā addresses Kṛṣṇa and confirms that what has been spoken will indeed occur. She declares her unwavering truthfulness and grants boons: a vast royal household (sixteen thousand wives), enduring affection within it, and inexhaustible prosperity.
