Adhyāya 32: Tāpasānāṃ Darśanaṃ — Ascetics Seek to Identify the Pāṇḍavas
मेनिरे परितोषेण नृपा: स्वर्गसदो यथा । सारी रात एक-दूसरेके साथ घूमने-फिरनेके कारण उन सबके मनमें बड़ी प्रसन्नता थी। स्वर्गवासियोंके समान ही उन्हें वहाँ परम संतोषका अनुभव हुआ
menire paritoṣeṇa nṛpāḥ svargasado yathā |
বৈশম্পায়নে ক’লে— সেই নৃপসকলে পৰিতোষে স্বৰ্গবাসীৰ দৰে তৃপ্ত হ’ল। সাৰাৰাত পৰস্পৰৰ সঙ্গ লৈ ঘূৰি-ফুৰাৰ ফলত তেওঁলোকৰ মন আনন্দেৰে ভৰি উঠিল, আৰু তাত তেওঁলোকে পৰম সন্তোষ অনুভৱ কৰিলে।
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Even amid the sorrowful aftermath of conflict, dharmic companionship and mutual goodwill can restore inner balance; shared, peaceful conduct becomes a source of ‘heaven-like’ contentment without dependence on external power or victory.
Vaiśampāyana describes the kings spending the night together, walking and conversing in one another’s company; this shared time produces great joy and a sense of supreme satisfaction, likened to the experience of heavenly beings.
