अध्याय ५६ — च्यवन–कुशिकसंवादः
Cyavana–Kuśika Dialogue on Lineage, Conflict, and Transmission
श्रमो मम यथा न स्यात् तथा मच्छन्दचारिणौ । सुसुखं चैव वोढव्यो जन: सर्वश्ष॒ पश्यतु
śramo mama yathā na syāt tathā macchandacāriṇau | susukhaṃ caiva voḍhavyo janaḥ sarvaśaḥ paśyatu ||
Dijo Bhishma: «Moveos de tal modo que yo no me fatigue; vosotros dos debéis proceder conforme a mi voluntad. Llevadme con el mayor sosiego, y que la gente por doquier lo vea».
भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse emphasizes ethical care and disciplined conduct: those who serve or assist must act according to rightful instruction, ensuring no harm or discomfort is caused, and their behavior should be exemplary and publicly accountable.
Bhishma addresses two persons responsible for moving or carrying him, instructing them to proceed slowly and comfortably, aligned with his will, so that he is not strained and so that the public can witness their proper conduct.
