Dhṛtarāṣṭra–Saṃjaya Dialogue; Account of Sātyaki vs Alambusa
गच्छामि स्वस्ति ते ब्रह्मन्ू न मे कालात्ययो भवेत् | आचार्यनुगतो मार्ग: शिष्यैरन्वास्थते सदा
gacchāmi svasti te brahman na me kālātyayo bhavet | ācāryānugato mārgaḥ śiṣyair anvāsthate sadā ||
मैं जाता हूँ; हे ब्राह्मण, आपका कल्याण हो। मेरा समय व्यर्थ न हो। आचार्य का अपनाया हुआ मार्ग शिष्य सदा ही अनुसरण करते हैं।
संजय उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the ethical force of example: a teacher’s chosen course becomes a model that disciples naturally follow. It underscores responsibility in leadership and the continuity of right conduct through the guru–śiṣya tradition.
Sañjaya takes leave respectfully, offering a blessing and expressing urgency to avoid delay. He then remarks that disciples habitually follow the path set by their teacher, framing the situation in terms of guidance and imitation.
