Damayantī’s Message and the Dispatch of Brahmin Envoys
विप्रयुक्त: स मन्दात्मा भ्रमत्यसुखपीडित: । दहा[मान: स शोकेन दिवारात्रमतन्द्रित:,'पत्नीसे विलग होकर वह मन्दबुद्धि मानव दिन-रात शोकाग्निसे दग्ध एवं दुःखसे पीड़ित होकर आलस्यसे रहित हो इधर-उधर भटकता रहता है
viprayuktaḥ sa mandātmā bhramaty asukhapīḍitaḥ | dahyamānaḥ sa śokena divārātram atandritaḥ ||
Dijo Bṛhadaśva: Separado de su esposa, aquel hombre de entendimiento torpe vaga sin rumbo, atormentado por la desdicha—ardiendo en el fuego del duelo día y noche, sin hallar reposo.
बृहृदश्च उवाच
Educational Q&A
Unmastered attachment turns separation into a consuming inner fire; without steadiness and discernment, grief produces restless wandering rather than constructive action.
Bṛhadaśva describes a man who, after being separated from his wife, is overwhelmed by sorrow—burning with grief day and night and roaming about in misery.
