Adhyāya 348: Nāga–Nīgabhāryā Saṃvāda on Anger, Hope, and Ethical Response
एवमेष महान् धर्म: स ते पूर्व नृपोत्तम । कथितो हरिगीतासु समासविधिकल्पित:,नृपश्रेष्ठट इस प्रकार यह महान धर्म मैंने तुम्हें पहले हरिगीतामें संक्षेपसे बताया है
evaṁ eṣa mahān dharmaḥ sa te pūrva nṛpottama | kathito harigītāsu samāsavidhikalpitaḥ ||
বৈশম্পায়নে ক’লে—হে নৃপোত্তম, এইদৰে এই মহান ধৰ্ম মই আগতেই ‘হৰিগীতা’সমূহত বিধিবদ্ধ সংক্ষিপ্ত সাৰৰূপে তোমাক কৈছিলোঁ।
वैशम्पायन उवाच
The verse emphasizes that ‘great dharma’ can be transmitted effectively through a disciplined, concise summary, and that such instruction—linked with devotion to Hari—has already been communicated to the king.
Vaiśampāyana, continuing his narration, signals a transition or closure by reminding the addressed king that the essential doctrine of dharma has been previously explained in a summarized, methodically arranged form within the Harigītā passages.
