Shloka 34
अक्षविजय-प्रसङ्गः
Escalation of Wagers and Shakuni’s Repeated Declarations of Victory
ततस्ते पुरुषव्याप्रा गत्वा स्त्रीभिस्तु संविदम् । कृत्वा व्यायामपूर्वाणि कृत्यानि प्रतिकर्म च
tataste puruṣavyāprā gatvā strībhistu saṃvidam | kṛtvā vyāyāmapūrvāṇi kṛtyāni pratikarma ca manojñam aśanaṃ bhuktvā viviśuḥ śaraṇāny atha |
ثم مضى أولئك الرجال ذوو الهمة فتشاوروا مع نسائهم. وبعد أن قدّموا التمرين البدني وما جرت به العادة من شؤون التهيؤ والزينة، وأتمّوا فرائضهم اليومية، تناولوا طعامًا مستساغًا. ثم دخلوا مخادعهم الخاصة ليستريحوا، بسلوك منضبط ونفسٍ متوجهة إلى العافية.
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse highlights disciplined living: consultation within the household, attention to health and personal conduct, completion of daily duties, and moderation—suggesting that orderliness and self-regulation are integral to dharma even in royal life.
Vaiśampāyana narrates that the men (contextually the Pāṇḍavas) speak with their womenfolk, perform exercise and personal grooming, complete routine observances, eat a satisfying meal, and then retire to their quarters.
