ययातिदौहित्रपुण्यसमुच्चयः | Yayāti and the Grandsons’ Consolidation of Merit
तदनन्तर तपस्विनी माधवीने उन पुत्रोंके सिरपर हाथ रखकर अपने पितासे कहा --'राजेन्द्र! ये सभी आपके दौहित्र (नाती) और मेरे पुत्र हैं, पराये नहीं हैं ।।
tadanantaraṃ tapasvinī mādhavī nūna putrāṇāṃ śirasi karaṃ nidhāya svapitaraṃ pratyuvāca— “rājendra! ime sarve tava dauhitrāḥ (nātayaḥ) mama ca putrāḥ, na parāyāḥ. ime tvāṃ tārayiṣyanti; dṛṣṭam etat purātane. ahaṃ te duhitā rājan mādhavī mṛgacāriṇī.”
随后，苦行女摩达维把手按在诸子头上，对父亲说道：“噢，诸王之最！他们都是你的外孙，也是我的儿子——并非外人。他们将使你得以解脱；此事自古已有明证。我是你的女儿，噢，国王——摩达维，行于林野、以游林为生者。”

Educational Q&A
The verse stresses dharma grounded in kinship and responsibility: one’s descendants are not ‘others,’ and rightful lineage can become a means of protection and moral deliverance, affirmed by ancient precedent.
Mādhavī, described as an ascetic forest-wanderer, blesses her sons by touching their heads and reassures her father (a king) that these boys are his own grandsons. She declares that they will ‘deliver’ him, invoking an old, established tradition.
