Waiśampāyana berkata: “Setelah berkata, ‘Biarlah ia menantikan pertemuan itu,’ sang resi lenyap dari pandangan. Lalu Dewi Satyavatī mendatangi menantunya yang sedang menyepi dan menyampaikan kata-kata yang bermanfaat, selaras dengan dharma dan kesejahteraan praktis.”
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse frames a morally charged act (conjugal union arranged for lineage) within dharma and welfare: private, orderly conduct and counsel aimed at preserving the dynasty and social duty.
After instructing that the woman should await the appointed union, the sage (Vyāsa) vanishes. Satyavatī then goes privately to her daughter-in-law (Ambikā) to give beneficial guidance aligned with dharma and practical good.
