युधिष्ठिरस्य अर्जुनप्रेषण-युक्तिवर्णनम् | Yudhiṣṭhira’s Rationale for Sending Arjuna and Request to Dhaumya
कुमारमभिगम्याथ वीराश्रमनिवासिनम्
kumāram abhigamyātha vīrāśrama-nivāsinam
Alors il s’approcha du jeune prince qui demeurait dans l’āśrama du sage héroïque, et s’adressa à lui—préparant le cadre du conseil et de l’enseignement au sein de la vie d’āśrama, disciplinée et tournée vers le dharma.
घुलस्त्य उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse foregrounds the dharmic method of seeking guidance: one approaches the appropriate person—here a young prince living under āśrama discipline—before speech or instruction begins, emphasizing humility, proper approach, and context-sensitive counsel.
A speaker transitions the scene by stating that he went up to a young prince who was staying in a hero’s hermitage; this sets up the ensuing dialogue or instruction that will follow in the next lines.
