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 ||
Bhishma dit : Alors, tous deux—époux et épouse—voyant l’un en l’autre le retour neuf de la jeunesse, parurent exempts de toute souffrance, semblables aux dieux. Étendus sur leur couche, ils se réjouirent grandement. Ayant revêtu des corps nouveaux, parés d’une beauté éclatante accordée par le plus éminent des deux-fois-nés, le sage Cyavana, le couple fut comblé de bonheur.

Educational Q&A
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.
