तस्यैवमुपविष्टस्य मंत्रस्थाने महात्मनः । बहुत्वादिष्टलोकस्य न रहस्यं प्रजायते
tasyaivamupaviṣṭasya maṃtrasthāne mahātmanaḥ | bahutvādiṣṭalokasya na rahasyaṃ prajāyate
Lorsque ce grand être s’assit ainsi au lieu du conseil, la présence de nombreux privilégiés empêcha toute discrétion : nul secret ne pouvait être gardé.
Sūta (contextual narration)
Scene: A great-souled figure seated in the mantrasthāna (council-place) while many courtiers and favored onlookers crowd around, making true secrecy impossible; tension between sacred counsel and public spectacle.
It underscores discernment: dharmic counsel can be compromised without proper setting and restraint among attendants.
No tīrtha is named in this verse.
