Shloka 17
अध्याय ३३७ — ज्ञानमार्ग-वैविध्यप्रश्नः तथा व्यासस्य नारायणोद्भवकथा
Systems of Knowledge and Vyāsa’s Nārāyaṇa-Origin
भीष्म उवाच ततः स तं समुद्धूतं भूमिपालो महान् वसुः । प्रसादयामास मुनि सदस्यास्ते च सर्वश:
bhīṣma uvāca tataḥ sa taṃ samuddhūtaṃ bhūmipālo mahān vasuḥ | prasādayāmāsa muniṃ sadasyās te ca sarvaśaḥ ||
Bhīṣma sprach: „Daraufhin suchte der große König Vasu, der Herrscher der Erde, jenen Weisen zu besänftigen, der in Zorn aufgewühlt worden war; und auch alle Versammelten schlossen sich auf jede Weise an, um ihn zu beschwichtigen.“
भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
When anger disrupts order—especially involving a revered sage—the dharmic course for a ruler and the community is respectful conciliation and restoration of harmony, not retaliation or further provocation.
Bhishma narrates that King Vasu, along with all the members present in the assembly, tries to pacify the sage (identified in the accompanying context as Brihaspati) who has become agitated.
