Shloka 27
शकुनि (हिरण्मय-पक्षी) उपदेशः — Vighasāśin and the Difficulty of Gārhasthya
अर्जुन उवाच ततस्ते तद् वच: श्रुत्वा धर्मार्थसहितं हितम् । उत्सृज्य नास्तीति गता गार्हस्थ्यं समुपाश्रिता:
arjuna uvāca tataste tad vacaḥ śrutvā dharmārthasahitaṃ hitam | utsṛjya nāstīti gatā gārhasthyaṃ samupāśritāḥ ||
অৰ্জুন ক’লে—তাৰ পাছত তেওঁলোকে ধৰ্ম-অৰ্থসহিত সেই হিতকৰ বাক্য শুনি ‘নাস্তি’ (ইয়াত সাৰ নাই) বুলিয়া ধাৰণা ত্যাগ কৰি উভতি গৈ গাৰ্হস্থ্যাশ্ৰমৰ আশ্ৰয় ল’লে।
अर्जुन उवाच
Educational Q&A
Beneficial counsel aligned with dharma and artha can correct a misguided, dismissive attitude (“nāsti iti”) and redirect one toward a constructive, socially responsible path—here, the disciplined practice of gārhasthya (householder duty).
After hearing wholesome instruction that integrates righteousness (dharma) with practical well-being (artha), the persons described give up their earlier negative conclusion and return to adopt the householder mode of life.
