King Duḥṣanta’s Entry into the Forest Hunt

गिरिं कोलाहलं तं तु पदा वसुरताडयत्‌ । निश्षक्राम ततस्तेन प्रहारविवरेण सा,उसके रोकनेसे नदीकी धारा रुक गयी। यह देख उपरिचर वसुने कोलाहल पर्वतपर अपने पैरसे प्रहार किया। प्रहार करते ही पर्वतमें दरार पड़ गयी, जिससे निकलकर वह नदी पहलेके समान बहने लगी

giriṃ kolāhalaṃ taṃ tu padā vasuratāḍayat | niṣṣakrāma tatastena prahāravivareṇa sā |

Vaiśampāyana sprach: Als der Strom des Flusses aufgehalten war, trat Uparicara Vasu den Berg Kolāhala mit dem Fuß. Durch diesen Schlag öffnete sich ein Spalt im Berg, und durch diese Kluft brach der Fluss hervor und floss wieder wie zuvor.

Educational Q&A

A ruler’s duty includes removing obstacles that harm the community; firm, timely action that restores the natural and social flow is portrayed as effective kingship aligned with welfare.

A river’s stream is obstructed; Uparicara Vasu strikes the Kolāhala mountain with his foot, splitting it open so the river can pass through and flow normally again.
