The ascetics said: "You indeed have, O righteous one — we know it — godlike, auspicious, faultless offspring, O king; we behold it with the divine eye. Ordained by fate, O tiger among men, bring it about here through your own action; an effortless fruit is obtained by the calm, wise man. Seeing that foretold fruit, O dear one, you ought to make the effort; having obtained offspring endowed with virtues, you will obtain joy."

Here the ascetics, with the divine eye, foresee the coming Pandavas. Telling is the union of fate and effort: the offspring is "ordained by fate," yet it must be brought about "through action" — destiny and free will work together. Here is the right understanding of providence: foreknowledge does not cancel effort but directs it; a person cooperates with the design without being its will-less instrument. Telling are the words "an effortless fruit is obtained by the calm one" (akliṣṭaṃ phalam avyagraḥ): whoever acts calmly, without agitation, trusting in the higher order, is given the fruit with ease. Thus the scripture shows that faith in a benevolent providence produces not inaction but calm and confident effort; and the ascetics, foreseeing the Pandavas, urge Pandu toward the deed required of him.
