Chapter 2: Sudarśana Upākhyāna — Atithi-Dharma and the Conquest of Mṛtyu
Gṛhastha-Vrata
इस प्रकार श्रीमह्याभारत अनुशासनपर्वके अन्तर्गत दानधर्मपर्वमें गौतमी ब्राह्मणी; व्याध, सर्प मृत्यु और कालका संवादविषयक पहला अध्याय पूरा हुआ,मदिराश्चस्य पुत्रस्तु द्युतिमान् नाम पार्थिव: । महाभागो महातेजा महासत्त्वो महाबल: मदिराश्वका पुत्र महाभाग, महातेजस्वी, महान् धैर्यशशाली और महाबली झद्युतिमान् नामसे प्रसिद्ध राजा हुआ
madirāśvasya putras tu dyutimān nāma pārthivaḥ | mahābhāgo mahātejā mahāsattvo mahābalaḥ ||
Vaiśampāyana said: Madirāśva’s son became a king renowned by the name Dyutimān—highly fortunate, radiant in splendor, great in inner strength and steadfastness, and mighty in power. The narration thus turns from the prior moral dialogue toward the lineage and character of a ruler, presenting royal excellence as grounded in virtue, vigor, and moral stature.
