कुशनाभकन्याशतविवाहः — The Marriage of Kuśanābha’s Hundred Daughters
and the Birth of Brahmadatta
तासां तद्वचनं श्रुत्वा राजा परमधार्मिक:।प्रत्युवाच महातेजा: कन्याशतमनुत्तमम्।।1.33.5।।
tāsāṁ tadvacanaṁ śrutvā rājā paramadhārmikaḥ | pratyuvāca mahātejāḥ kanyāśatam anuttamam || 1.33.5 ||
至为正法、光辉炽盛的国王听见女儿们的话语,便对那无比殊胜的一百位少女答言。
The deeply religious and highly powerful king, having heard those words of his one hundred exceptional daughters, replied:
A dhārmika king listens before judging; righteous governance begins with attentive hearing of those affected, especially one’s dependents.
The daughters have reported their stance and suffering; the king now responds to them formally.
Rājadharma: patient listening, moral authority, and responsible speech.
