आपद्धर्मनिर्णयः — विश्वामित्र-श्वपचसंवादः
Apaddharma Determination: Dialogue of Viśvāmitra and the Śvapaca
ततः शान््त्रार्थतत्त्वज्ञो बुद्धिसामर्थ्यमात्मन:
tataḥ śāstrārthatattvajño buddhisāmarthyam ātmanaḥ
तब शास्त्रार्थ के तत्त्व को भलीभाँति जानने वाले उस पुरुष ने अपने ही बुद्धि-सामर्थ्य का विचार किया—ताकि आवेग नहीं, सम्यक् बोध के अनुसार कर्म करे।
लोमश उवाच
Educational Q&A
True ethical action begins with clear discernment grounded in the real import of authoritative teachings; one should measure one’s own intellectual capacity and proceed with self-controlled, well-considered judgment.
Lomaśa describes a moment of transition: after gaining or possessing insight into the true meaning of śāstric instruction, the subject turns inward to evaluate his own intellectual strength, indicating readiness for a deliberate, dharma-aligned course of action.
