Adhyāya 136: Yavakrī–Bharadvāja Saṃvāda and the Bāladhī–Dhanuṣākṣa Gāthā
Arrogance, Boons, and Nimitta
लालप्यमानं तं दृष्टवा मुनय:ः परमार्तवत् । ऊचुर्वेदविद: सर्वे गाथां यां तां निबोध मे,अधिक पीड़ित मनुष्योंकी भाँति उन्हें विलाप करते देख वहाँके समस्त वेदवेत्ता मुनिगण एकत्र हो जिस गाथाको गाने लगे, उसे बताता हूँ, सुनो
lālapyamānaṃ taṃ dṛṣṭvā munayaḥ paramārtavat | ūcur vedavidaḥ sarve gāthāṃ yāṃ tāṃ nibodha me ||
Seeing him lamenting like one in extreme distress, all the sages—masters of the Vedas—gathered and spoke: “Listen to me, and understand that very gāthā, the solemn verse we now begin to chant.”
