Vasudeva–Arjuna Dialogue in the Aftermath of Dvārakā
कल्रत्रस्य बहुत्वाद्धि सम्पतत्सु ततस्ततः । प्रयत्नमकरोत् पार्थों जनस्य परिरक्षणे
kalatrasya bahutvād dhi sampatatsu tatastataḥ | prayatnam akarot pārtho janasya parirakṣaṇe ||
Vaiśampāyana berkata: Karena jumlah perempuan sangat banyak dan mereka terus terjerumus ke dalam bahaya di sana-sini, Pārtha mengerahkan segenap upaya untuk melindungi rakyat.
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
Dharma in crisis is shown through protective responsibility: when many are vulnerable and danger arises repeatedly, a righteous leader must exert sustained effort to safeguard others, especially those at greater risk.
In the Mausala Parva context of upheaval after the Yādavas’ destruction, many women are exposed to danger and confusion; Arjuna (Pārtha) actively strives to protect the people as threats and mishaps occur in different places.
