Atithi-satkāra and the Consolation of Wise Counsel (अतिथिसत्कारः प्रज्ञानवचनस्य च पराश्वासनम्)

सप्तजातिषु मुख्यत्वाद्‌ योगानां सम्पदं गत: । कण्डरीक-कुलमें उत्पन्न हुए प्रतापी राजा ब्रह्मदत्तने सात जन्मोंके जन्म-मृत्युसम्बन्धी दुःखोंका बार-बार स्मरण करके तीव्रतम वैराग्यके कारण शीघ्र ही योगजनित एऐश्वर्य प्राप्त कर लिया था

saptajātiṣu mukhyatvād yogānāṁ sampadaṁ gataḥ | kaṇḍarīka-kule utpannaḥ pratāpī rājā brahmadattaḥ sapta janmānāṁ janma-mṛtyu-sambandhī duḥkhānāṁ punaḥ punaḥ smaraṇena tīvra-tama-vairāgyāt śīghram eva yoga-janitam aiśvaryaṁ prāptavān |

لِما بلغَ الصدارةَ عبر سبعِ ولاداتٍ، انتهى إلى تمامِ الازدهار المولود من اليوغا. إنّ الملكَ برهمَدَتّا، الحاكمَ الجبّارَ المولودَ في سلالة كَنْدَريكا، كان يذكُر مرارًا آلامَ الميلاد والموت عبر سبعِ حيوات؛ وبأشدِّ الزهدِ والانفصال (vairāgya) الناشئ من ذلك التذكّر، نال سريعًا السيادةَ اليوغية (aiśvarya).

Educational Q&A

Repeated contemplation of the suffering inherent in birth-and-death (saṁsāra) can generate intense vairāgya (dispassion), which in turn becomes a powerful catalyst for yogic attainment and inner mastery.

The text cites King Brahmadatta as an exemplar: though a powerful ruler, he reflects again and again on the pains tied to repeated births and deaths, and through that heightened renunciation he quickly gains yogic excellence and lordship.
