Shloka 6
शल्मलि–पवनसंवादः
The Dialogue of Śalmali and Pavana
अनवेक्ष्यैव संहृष्ट: श्वापदाध्युषितं वनम् । महान्तं निश्चयं कृत्वा लुब्धक: प्रविवेश ह
anavekṣyaiva saṁhṛṣṭaḥ śvāpadādhyuṣitaṁ vanam | mahāntaṁ niścayaṁ kṛtvā lubdhakaḥ praviveśa ha, rājan |
Bhishma dit : Sans même regarder autour de lui, le chasseur—transporté de joie—entra dans la forêt habitée par les bêtes sauvages. Ô Roi, ayant formé un dessein ferme et élevé pour atteindre son but, il s’enfonça dans ce bois périlleux.
भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A

A hunter, excited and determined, enters a forest known to be full of wild beasts without even looking around, illustrating a headlong plunge into peril driven by intense resolve.
