कुम्भकर्णविबोधनम्
The Awakening of Kumbhakarna
नह्यल्पकारणेसुप्तंबोधयिष्यतिमांगुरुः ।तदाख्यातार्थतत्त्वेनमत्प्रबोधनकारणम् ।।।।
na hy alpa-kāraṇe suptaṃ bodhayiṣyati māṃ guruḥ | tad ākhyāta artha-tattvena mat-prabodhana-kāraṇam ||
For no trivial cause would my elders wake me while I slept. Therefore, tell me truthfully the real reason for waking me.
"For a small reason he will not awaken me. Tell me the reason truly for waking me."
Satya (truthfulness) in communication: in urgent matters, one should state the real cause plainly and accurately.
Kumbhakarṇa insists that the matter must be serious and demands an honest explanation.
Respect for proper procedure and truthful reporting in crisis.
