Adhyāya 59: On Giving to the Asker and Supporting the Non-asking (याचक-अयाचक-दाने धर्मः)

Devanagari script

पुत्रं तस्थ महाराज ऋचीकं भृगुनन्दनम्‌ । साक्षात्‌ कृत्स्नो धरनुर्वेद: समुपस्थास्यतेडनघ,निष्पाप महाराज! उन्हीं और्वके पुत्र भूगुकुलनन्दन ऋचीक होंगे, जिनकी सेवामें सम्पूर्ण धरनुर्वेद मूर्तिमानू होकर उपस्थित होगा

Transliteration

putraṁ tastha mahārāja ṛcīkaṁ bhṛgunandanam | sākṣāt kṛtsno dhanurvedaḥ samupasthāsyate 'naghāḥ ||

Translation

O King, there will be a son—Ṛcīka, the delight of the Bhṛgu lineage. To that blameless one, the entire science of archery will present itself in embodied form, as if standing before him in service—signifying mastery gained through innate merit and disciplined conduct rather than mere instruction.
