अध्याय ५६ — च्यवन–कुशिकसंवादः
Cyavana–Kuśika Dialogue on Lineage, Conflict, and Transmission
ततस्तु तौ नवमभिवीक्ष्य यौवन परस्परं विगतरुजाविवामरौ । ननन्दतु: शयनगतौ वपुर्धरी श्रिया युतौ द्विजवरदत्तया तदा
tatastu tau navam abhivīkṣya yauvanaṁ parasparaṁ vigatarujāv ivāmarau | nanandatuḥ śayanagatau vapurdharī śriyā yutau dvijavaradattayā tadā ||
Dijo Bhishma: Entonces, ambos—esposo y esposa—al contemplar en el otro el renovado advenimiento de la juventud, parecían libres de toda aflicción, como los dioses. Reclinados en su lecho, se regocijaron grandemente. Habiendo asumido nuevos cuerpos, colmados de esplendor y hermosura otorgados por el más excelso de los nacidos dos veces, el sabio Cyavana, el matrimonio quedó lleno de dicha.
भीष्म उवाच
Righteous living and respectful receptivity to a sage’s guidance can yield tangible well-being; the verse highlights how anugraha (grace) received in a dharmic manner brings health, beauty, and harmony rather than mere sensual gain.
A husband and wife, newly rejuvenated through the boon/aid of the foremost brahmin sage (Cyavana), look at each other and recognize renewed youth; free from illness like the gods, they lie on their bed and rejoice in their restored vitality and splendor.
