Udyoga Parva Adhyāya 58 — Saṃjaya’s Audience and Kṛṣṇa’s Deterrent Counsel (संजय-प्रवेशः कृष्णवाक्यं च)
“तुम सुपात्र व्यक्तियोंको धनका दान दे लो, अपनी इच्छाके अनुसार पुत्र पैदा कर लो तथा अपने प्रेमीजनोंका प्रिय कार्य सिद्ध कर लो; क्योंकि राजा युधिष्ठिर अब तुमलोगोंपर विजय पानेके लिये उतावले हो रहे हैं
tvaṁ supātra-vyaktibhyo dhanasya dānaṁ kuru, svēcchayā putrān janaya, tathā ca sva-priyajanānāṁ priya-kāryaṁ sādhaya; yato rājā yudhiṣṭhira idānīṁ yuṣmān jetum utkaṇṭhitaḥ.
风神伐由说道：“把财富施舍给配受之人，随你们的心愿生育子嗣，并成就你们所爱之人所喜之事；因为尤提士提罗王如今已急切地要战胜你们。”

Educational Q&A
The verse urges timely fulfillment of dharmic and worldly responsibilities—especially giving charity to deserving recipients, ensuring lineage, and caring for loved ones—because impending conflict makes the future uncertain.
Vāyudeva warns the addressed party that Yudhiṣṭhira is becoming intent on victory; therefore, they should quickly complete acts of generosity, family duties, and obligations to loved ones before the situation turns into open confrontation.
