वयं ब्रूमो न धर्मात्मन्‌ व्येतु ते भयमीदृशम्‌ । उपतिष्ठतु कल्याणं भवन्तं भ्रातृभि: सह,ब्राह्मण बोले--धर्मात्मन्‌! यह दुर्योधनका मित्र चार्वाक नामक राक्षस है, जो संन्यासीके रूपमें यहाँ आकर उसका हित करना चाहता है। हमलोग आपसे कुछ नहीं कहते हैं। आपका इस तरहका भय दूर हो जाना चाहिये। हम आशीर्वाद देते हैं कि 'भाइयोंसहित आपको कल्याणकी प्राप्ति हो”

Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

The verse emphasizes removing paralyzing fear and restoring auspicious confidence in a righteous person through truthful reassurance and blessing—especially important for a king whose moral clarity affects the realm.

What is happening in the narrative?

After an impostor (Cārvāka, disguised as an ascetic) tries to unsettle the Pāṇḍavas, the Brahmins expose the deception and then console Yudhiṣṭhira, telling him to let such fear depart and invoking well-being for him and his brothers.
