भीष्म उवाच शृणु राजन् कथां दिव्यां सर्वपापप्रणाशिनीम् । नृपतेर्मुचुकुन्दस्य कथितां भार्गवेण वै,भीष्मजीने कहा--राजन्! वह दिव्य कथा सुनो, जो सब पापोंका नाश करनेवाली है। परशुरामजीने राजा मुचुकुन्दको यह कथा सुनायी थी
bhīṣma uvāca śṛṇu rājan kathāṃ divyāṃ sarvapāpapraṇāśinīm | nṛpater mucukundasya kathitāṃ bhārgaveṇa vai ||
Bhīṣma sprach: „O König, höre diese göttliche Erzählung, die alle Sünde vernichtet. Sie wurde vom Bhārgava (Paraśurāma) dem König Muchukunda berichtet.“
भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
Sacred narratives, when heard with attention and reverence, are presented as morally purifying—guiding the listener away from wrongdoing and toward dharma.
Bhishma introduces a revered, sin-destroying tale and notes its pedigree: it was previously told by Parashurama (Bhargava) to King Muchukunda, preparing the listener for an instructive exemplum.
