Kapila–Cow Dialogue: Authority of Householder and Renunciant Dharmas

ततः कदाचित तांस्तत्र पश्यन्‌ पक्षीन्‌ यतव्रतः । बभूव परमप्रीतस्तदा मतिमतां वर:,संयमपूर्वक व्रतके पालनमें तत्पर रहनेवाले, बुद्धिमानोंमें श्रेष्ठ जाजलि किसी दिन वहाँ उन पंखधारी बच्चोंको उड़ते देख बड़े प्रसन्न हुए तथा अपने बच्चोंको बड़ा हुआ देख वे दोनों पक्षी भी बड़े आनन्दका अनुभव करने लगे और अपनी संतानोंके साथ निर्भय होकर वहीं रहने लगे

tataḥ kadācit tāṁs tatra paśyan pakṣīn yatavrataḥ | babhūva paramaprītas tadā matimatāṁ varaḥ ||

وفي يومٍ من الأيام رأى الناسك جاجلي—المواظب على نذره بضبط النفس، والأفضل بين الحكماء—تلك الفراخ وقد اكتست أجنحة وصارت تطير، فغمرته فرحة عظيمة. ورأت الطيور الأبوية صغارها وقد كبروا فابتهجت هي أيضًا، ثم أقامت هناك مع نسلها بلا خوف.

Educational Q&A

Disciplined observance of vows (saṁyama and vrata) supports a life where beings can flourish without fear; joy arises not from possession or harm, but from restraint and harmonious coexistence.

Jājali, steadfast in his vows, watches the birds’ young grow and fly. He feels deep happiness, and the parent birds, pleased at their offspring’s maturity, remain there fearlessly with their young.
