Nala’s Reception and Reconciliation
त्वामृते न हि लोकेडन्य एकाह्वा पृथिवीपते । समर्थो योजनशतं गन्तुम श्वैर्नराधिप,नरेश्वर! पृथ्वीनाथ! मैं यह अच्छी तरह जानती हूँ कि इस जगत्में आपके सिवा दूसरा कोई ऐसा पुरुष नहीं है, जो एक ही दिनमें घोड़े जुते हुए रथकी सवारीसे सौ योजन दूरतक जानेमें समर्थ हो
tvām ṛte na hi loke ’nya ekaḥ vā pṛthivīpate | samartho yojanaśataṁ gantuṁ aśvaiḥ narādhipa ||
布利哈达湿婆说道：“除你之外，噢大地之主，在这世间再无一人能在一日之内乘坐骏马所驾之车行走百由旬。我对此深知无疑。”

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights exceptional competence as a royal virtue: a true ruler is distinguished by extraordinary capability and readiness to act swiftly when needed, and such excellence is recognized and affirmed by the wise.
Bṛhadaśvā addresses a king and praises him as uniquely able to cover an immense distance—one hundred yojanas—in a single day by horse-drawn chariot, emphasizing that no one else in the world can match this feat.
