Nala’s Reception and Reconciliation
तदद्भुतमयं दृष्टवा नलो राजाथ भारत | दमयन्त्यां विशड्कां तामुपाकर्षदरिंदम:,युधिष्ठि!! यह अद्भुत दृश्य देखकर शत्रुसूदन राजा नलने दमयन्तीके विरुद्ध होनेवाली शंकाको त्याग दिया
tad adbhutamayaṃ dṛṣṭvā nalo rājātha bhārata | damayantyāṃ viśaṅkāṃ tāṃ upākarṣad arindamaḥ ||
噢，婆罗多啊！敌摧王那罗见此奇瑞，便收回心念，抛却了对达摩延蒂所怀的疑惧。面对昭然的证据，他以公正胜过猜疑，使将起的隔阂复归于信任。

Educational Q&A
When confronted with convincing truth, one should abandon baseless suspicion—especially toward the innocent. Ethical discernment requires revising one’s judgment in light of evidence, preserving justice and trust.
Bṛhadaśva narrates to Yudhiṣṭhira that Nala witnesses an extraordinary sign or event, and as a result he withdraws the doubt he had begun to feel toward Damayantī, restoring confidence in her.
