Hiḍimba’s Approach and Hiḍimbā’s Warning to Bhīmasena (हिडिम्बागमनम् / हिडिम्बा-भयवचनम्)
तमागतमिदं वाक्यमब्रवीज्जम्बुकस्तदा | मृगराजो हि संक्रुद्धो न ते साधु भविष्यति
tam āgatam idaṃ vākyam abravīj jambukas tadā | mṛgarājo hi saṃkruddho na te sādhu bhaviṣyati ||
Entonces Jambuka le dijo al recién llegado: «Pues el señor de las bestias, cuando se enfurece, no te traerá nada bueno».
जम्बुक उवाच
Educational Q&A
Anger in a powerful person (here, the ‘king of beasts’) is dangerous; wise conduct is to recognize imminent harm and avoid provoking or approaching such wrath.
Jambuka addresses someone who has arrived and warns that the enraged ‘mṛgarāja’ (lion) will not lead to anything beneficial for him—implying immediate peril if the situation is not handled cautiously.
