Ulūpī’s Disclosure and the Saṃjīvana-Maṇi: Arjuna’s Restoration (उलूपी-प्रकटनं संजीवनमणि-स्थापनं च)
न जनित्री तथास्येयं मम या प्रेष्यवत् स्थिता । श्रूयतां यद् यथा चेदं मया सर्व विचेष्टितम्
na janitrī tathāsyeyaṁ mama yā preṣyavat sthitā | śrūyatāṁ yad yathā cedaṁ mayā sarva viceṣṭitam ||
阿周那说道：“此女——虽为我母——并非那等之人；她如侍从一般，常在我号令之下。且听我细说：我在此处做了什么，又如何在诸事上行事。”

Educational Q&A
The verse emphasizes accountability and truthful narration: when blame or suspicion arises, one should clarify facts and one’s conduct directly, while also framing relationships in terms of duty and rightful authority.
Arjuna begins to explain the situation and his own actions, asserting that the woman referred to as his mother is not acting independently but remains under his direction, and he asks the listeners to hear the full account of what he did and how.
