Yudhiṣṭhira’s Procession, Encampment (Niveśa), and Auspicious Timing for Ritual Action
तथा यथा55ह धर्मेण कथं वा भीम मन्यसे । “यदि तुमलोग उस धनको पर्याप्त समझो और उसे ले आनेकी अपनेमें सामर्थ्य देखो तो व्यासजीने जैसा कहा है
tathā yathā dharmeṇa kathaṃ vā bhīma manyase |
Vaiśampāyana dit : «Agissez de la manière qui s’accorde avec le dharma. Si vous jugez cette richesse suffisante et si vous vous sentez capables de la rapporter, efforcez-vous de l’obtenir justement, exactement comme Vyāsa l’a prescrit. Sinon, Bhīmasena, parle : quel est ton avis en cette affaire ?»
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
Even when pursuing wealth or a practical objective, one must act strictly through dharma—right means matter as much as the end. The passage also models ethical consultation: follow wise instruction (Vyāsa) and invite the strongest stakeholder (Bhīma) to state his considered judgment.
The narrator Vaiśampāyana frames a decision-point: if the group deems the proposed wealth adequate and believes they can obtain it, they should attempt to secure it in a righteous way as Vyāsa advised; otherwise, Bhīmasena is asked to give his opinion on the course of action.
