Hiḍimba’s Approach and Hiḍimbā’s Warning to Bhīmasena (हिडिम्बागमनम् / हिडिम्बा-भयवचनम्)
फलार्थो5यं समारम्भो लोके पुंसां विपश्चिताम् । वहेदमित्र॑ स्कन्धेन यावत् कालस्य पर्यय:,“लोकमें विद्वान् पुरुषोंका यह सारा आयोजन ही अभीष्ट फलकी सिद्धिके लिये होता है। जबतक समय बदलकर अपने अनुकूल न हो जाय, तबतक शत्रुको कंधेपर बिठाकर ढोना पड़े, तो ढोये भी
In this world, every undertaking and arrangement made by the wise is for the attainment of the desired fruit. So long as time has not yet turned in one’s favor, even if one must seat the enemy upon one’s shoulder and carry him, one should carry him.
