Duryodhana’s Śaraṇāgati and the Pāṇḍavas’ Resolve
Gandharva Encounter
आस्थाय रुचिरं याति पुष्पकं नरवाहन: । उनके आगे-आगे गुह्मकोंसहित नरवाहन धनाध्यक्ष भगवान् कुबेर मनोहर पुष्पक विमानपर बैठकर जा रहे थे
āsthāya ruciraṃ yāti puṣpakaṃ naravāhanaḥ |
马尔坎德耶说道:“纳罗婆诃那登上华美的‘普什帕迦’飞车,继续前行。行列之前,财宝之主、守藏之神俱毗罗(Kubera)——亦名纳罗婆诃那——端坐于可爱的普什帕迦天车之上,率领随从古希亚迦(Guhyaka)一同而行。”
मार्कण्डेय उवाच
Prosperity and authority (symbolized by Kubera and the Puṣpaka) are portrayed as legitimate and auspicious when they move within the bounds of dharma—emphasizing stewardship, order, and rightful guardianship rather than greed.
Mārkaṇḍeya describes Naravāhana (Kubera) mounting the splendid Puṣpaka vimāna and proceeding onward, presenting a scene of divine movement and grandeur within the ongoing tale.
