Nala’s Reception and Reconciliation
तवाभिगमनार्थ तु सर्वतो ब्राह्मणा गता: । वाक्यानि मम गाथाभिग्गायमाना दिशो दश,आपका पता लगानेके लिये ही चारों ओर ब्राह्मणलोग भेजे गये और वे मेरी कही हुई बातोंको सब दिशाओंमें गाथाके रूपमें गाते फिरे
tavābhigamanārthaṁ tu sarvato brāhmaṇā gatāḥ | vākyāni mama gāthābhir gāyamānā diśo daśa ||
ولكي يُعثر عليك ويُهيَّأ لنا اللقاء، أُرسل البراهمة إلى كل جهة. كانوا ينشدون رسالتي أبياتًا، ويطوفون في الجهات العشر ناشرين الخبر في كل مكان.
बृहदश्चव उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse highlights purposeful, ethical communication: a message meant for reconciliation or meeting is spread widely through trusted, socially respected messengers, and is made memorable by being cast into gāthā (verse), ensuring accurate and far-reaching transmission.
Bṛhadaśva explains that, in order to locate the person addressed and arrange a meeting, Brahmins were dispatched in every direction. They traveled through all ten quarters, singing his words as verses so the message would circulate broadly and be recognized.
