धृतराष्ट्र–दुर्योधन संवादः
Vāraṇāvata-vivāsana-nīti: Dhṛtarāṣṭra and Duryodhana’s Policy Dialogue
तस्मात् तयोरनाम चक्रे तदेव स महीपति: । गोपितौ गौतमस्तत्र तपसा समविन्दत,गौतम (शरद्वान) भी उस आश्रमसे अन्यत्र जाकर धरनुर्वेदके अभ्यासमें तत्पर रहने लगे। राजा शन्तनुने यह सोचकर कि मैंने इन बालकोंको कृपापूर्वक पाला-पोसा है, उन दोनोंके वे ही नाम रख दिये--कृप और कृपी। राजाके द्वारा पालित हुई अपनी दोनों संतानोंका हाल गौतमने तपोबलसे जान लिया
tasmāt tayor nāma cakre tadeva sa mahīpatiḥ | gopitau gautamas tatra tapasā samavindata |
Vaiśampāyana said: Therefore that king, the lord of the earth, bestowed upon the two children those very names. And Gautama, by the power of his austerities, came to know there that his two offspring—who had been kept hidden and protected—were being reared. The passage underscores a king’s duty of compassionate guardianship and the seer’s inward knowledge gained through tapas.
