Chapter 29
य॑ं दृष्टवा पितुरुत्सज़े शयानं देवरूपिणम् । अन्योन्यमन्रुवन् देवा: कमयं धास्यतीति वै
yaṁ dṛṣṭvā pitur utsaṅge śayānaṁ devarūpiṇam | anyonyam anruvan devāḥ kam ayaṁ dhāsyatīti vai ||
诸天见那婴儿安睡在父亲膝上，形貌光辉，宛如天子，便相互低语道：“这无母的幼儿，将吮谁的乳汁？”

Educational Q&A
The verse foregrounds compassion and responsibility toward a helpless being: even the gods respond with concern for the motherless infant’s nourishment, implying that dharma begins with protecting and sustaining life, especially when it is vulnerable.
A newborn child, lying asleep in his father’s lap and appearing godlike, is seen by the gods. They confer among themselves, wondering who will provide milk for the infant since he is without a mother.
