Virāṭanagara-nivāsa-nirṇaya
Decision to Reside in Virāṭa’s City
अजुन उवाच तस्यैव वरदानेन धर्मस्य मनुजाधिप । अज्ञाता विचरिष्यामो नराणां नात्र संशय:
arjuna uvāca | tasyaiva varadānena dharmasya manujādhipa | ajñātā vicarīṣyāmo narāṇāṃ nātra saṃśayaḥ ||
Dijo Arjuna: «Oh señor de los hombres, por la misma gracia concedida por Dharma, nos moveremos entre la gente sin ser reconocidos—de ello no hay duda. Con todo, te diré los nombres de algunos reinos agradables y bien ocultos, aptos para morar; elige tú mismo el que prefieras.»
अजुन उवाच
Educational Q&A
Confidence grounded in dharma: Arjuna affirms that a righteous boon (from Dharma) provides reliable protection, yet he also models practical wisdom by planning safe, hidden places to live—showing that faith and prudent strategy can coexist.
Arjuna speaks to a king, stating that by Dharma’s boon they will remain unrecognized while moving among people. He then offers to name pleasant, secret regions suitable for residence so the king may choose a secure place.
