The Birth of Kṛpa and Kṛpī; Kṛpa’s Attainment of Astras
इमे वै बन्धुदायादा: षटू् पुत्रा धर्मदर्शने । षडेवाबन्धुदायादा: पुत्रास्ताउछूणु मे पृथे
vaiśampāyana uvāca | ime vai bandhudāyādāḥ ṣaṭ putrā dharmadarśane | ṣaḍ evābandhudāyādāḥ putrās tāñ chṛṇu me pṛthe ||
ヴァイシャンパーヤナは言った。「ダルマを明かす論書において、これら六種の子はまことに『bandhu-dāyāda』と呼ばれる。すなわち家の系譜に属する親族として、財産を相続する者たちである。さらに同じく六種の子が『a-bandhu-dāyāda』と呼ばれる。親族ではないが、なお相続の資格ありと宣言された者たちである。プṛターよ、彼らについて私から聞け。」
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse frames a dharma-based classification of sons for purposes of inheritance: six are ‘bandhu-dāyāda’ (kinsmen-heirs within the household line), and six are ‘a-bandhu-dāyāda’ (not kinsmen in the same strict sense, yet still granted inheritance rights).
Vaiśampāyana introduces a legal-ethical enumeration: he is about to describe categories of sons recognized by dharma literature and their status as heirs, addressing the listener as Pṛthā (Kuntī).
