Adhyaya 72 — The Reconciliation Rite, Sarasvati Sacrifice, and the Birth of Uttama Manu (Auttama Manvantara Prelude)
राजोवाच निःशङ्कं ब्रूहि मत्तो यद्भवात्या किञ्चिदीप्सितम् ।
तदलब्ध्यं न ते भीरु ! तवायत्तोऽस्मि नान्यथा ॥
rājovāca niḥśaṅkaṃ brūhi matto yad bhavātyā kiñcid īpsitam | tad alabhyaṃ na te bhīru! tavāyatto 'smi nānyathā ||
国王说道:“你想从我这里得到什么,尽管无所迟疑地说。对你这位羞怯者而言,并非不可得;我悉听你命——别无二心。”
Power is idealized as service: the king’s authority is to be used to remove suffering when properly petitioned.
Ethical exemplum within narrative (ācāra/dharma), not pancalakṣaṇa proper.
The vow-like assurance mirrors ritual ‘vara’ (granting of boon), setting karmic accountability on the giver.
