Shloka 13
Āśvamedhika-parva, Adhyāya 14
Consolation of Yudhiṣṭhira; Rites and Gifts; Return to Hastināpura
पश्यतामेव सर्वेषां तत्रैवादर्शनं ययु: । ततो धर्मसुतो राजा तत्रैवोपाविशत् प्रभु:
paśyatām eva sarveṣāṃ tatraivādarśanaṃ yayuḥ | tato dharmasuto rājā tatraivopāviśat prabhuḥ ||
Di hadapan semua yang menyaksikan, mereka lenyap dari tempat itu juga. Lalu sang raja, putra Dharma (Yudhiṣṭhira), setelah menghormati dan melepas mereka, duduk di sana juga.
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse underscores composure and propriety in leadership: even amid marvels (a sudden disappearance), the dhārmic king responds with restraint and respectful closure rather than agitation.
In full view of all present, certain figures depart by becoming invisible on the spot; afterward Yudhiṣṭhira, addressed as Dharmasuta and prabhu, remains there and sits down, indicating the conclusion of that encounter.
