Shloka 10
सुवर्णष्ठीविनोपाख्यानम्
The Account of Suvarṇaṣṭhīvin
“राजाको मनोवाञ्छित वर देकर संतुष्ट करो। वे जो-जो चाहते हैं, वह सब उन्हें मिले। तुम्हारी राय हो तो हम दोनोंकी तपस्यासे उनके मनोरथकी सिद्धि हो” ।।
rājānaṃ manovāñchitaṃ varaṃ dattvā saṃtuṣṭa kuru | ye ye icchanti tat sarvaṃ teṣāṃ prāpyatām | yadi te matir asti, āvayoḥ tapasā teṣāṃ manorathasya siddhir bhaviṣyatīti || tata āhūya rājānaṃ sṛñjayaṃ jayatāṃ varam | parvato 'numato vākyaṃ uvāca kuru-puṅgava kuru-śreṣṭha |
那罗陀说道：“当以他所渴望的恩赐使国王满足；凡他所求，皆令他尽得。若你同意，则凭我二人所修的苦行，他的心愿必得成就。”于是帕尔瓦塔得我许可，召来斯林阇耶王——胜利勇士中最卓越者——对他说：“哦库鲁族之雄牛，哦库鲁中最上者！”

Educational Q&A
The passage highlights an ethical mode of counsel: a ruler’s satisfaction and welfare may be secured through rightful granting of a boon, and spiritual effort (tapas) can be directed toward fulfilling a legitimate wish—showing the perceived power of ascetic merit when guided by prudent agreement.
Nārada advises that the king be pleased by giving him his desired boon and suggests that their combined austerities can accomplish the king’s wish. With Nārada’s permission, Parvata then summons King Sṛñjaya and begins addressing him respectfully as a foremost Kuru hero.
