आपस् त्वया महाराज मत्तपोवीर्यसंभृताः ॥
ताभ्यस् त्वम् आत्मना पुत्रम् एवंवीर्यं जनिष्यसि ॥
विधास्यामो वयं तत्र तवेष्टिं परमाद्भुताम् ॥
यथा शक्रसमं पुत्रं जनयिष्यसि वीर्यवान् ॥

Traducción

Then the sages together with the king awoke, and all saw that the vessel was empty. Gathering together, they began to ask: 'Whose doing is this?' And Yuvanashva truthfully admitted: 'Mine.' Then the blessed Bhargava said to him: 'This is not fitting. The water was set aside for the sake of a son and gathered by the power of tapas. I placed brahman here, undertaking severe austerity, for the sake of your son, royal sage, of great strength and prowess, one who by his might could send even Shakra to the abode of Yama. By this rite, king, I arranged this; but you today, king, wrongly drank the water. Now we cannot do this any other way. Surely this was wrought by fate, since you acted so. These waters, sanctified by rite and mantras, gathered by the power of my tapas, were drunk by you, great king, when you were thirsty. From them you yourself will beget a son of such power. We will arrange for you in this matter a supremely wondrous ishti, so that you, mighty one, may beget a son equal to Shakra.'

Comentario

The sage does not deny the mistake, but acknowledges a higher course of fate. Dharma here is not mechanical: once an act has already happened, wisdom seeks how to bring it to a good outcome.
