अम्बा–राम–भीष्म संवादः
Amba–Rama–Bhishma Dialogue on Vow and Refuge
अतदर्हा महाभागा भगीरथसुतानघा । या त्वामजीजनन्मन्दं युद्धकामुकमातुरम्
atadarhā mahābhāgā bhagīrathasutānaghā | yā tvām ajījanan mandaṃ yuddhakāmukam āturam ||
قال بهيشما: «إن غانغا النبيلة الطاهرة—ابنة بهاجيراثا—لا تستحق حقًّا أن تشهد مثل هذا العذاب. ولكن لأنها أنجبتك أنت—أحمقَ، محمومَ العجلة، مولعًا بالحرب—فلا بدّ لها أن تتحمّل هذا الألم.»
भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
Uncontrolled craving for war and rashness bring suffering not only upon oneself but also upon the innocent; even a blameless person may be forced to endure pain due to the actions and choices of those connected to them.
Bhishma addresses a war-eager prince, lamenting that the pure and noble Ganga does not deserve such grief, yet must endure it because she bore a son driven by impatience and fascination with battle.
