धृतराष्ट्र–दुर्योधन संवादः
Vāraṇāvata-vivāsana-nīti: Dhṛtarāṣṭra and Duryodhana’s Policy Dialogue
स तु ज्ञानगरीयस्त्वात् तपसश्न समर्थनात् | अवतस्थे महाप्राज्ञो धैर्यरेण परमेण ह
sa tu jñānagarīyastvāt tapasaś ca samarthanāt | avatasthē mahāprājño dhairyēṇa paramēṇa ha ||
ヴァイシャンパーヤナは語った。「彼は知において抜きんで、また苦行（タパス）の力により強く支えられていたゆえに、その大賢者—広大な洞察を備える者—は、至高の不動心をもって、礼法と分限の範囲に堅くとどまった。」
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse teaches that genuine knowledge (jñāna) and austerity (tapas) culminate in dhairya—steady self-control—so that a wise person remains within maryādā (proper bounds) rather than being driven by agitation or impulse.
Vaiśampāyana describes a great sage who, endowed with superior knowledge and strengthened by ascetic power, stays firmly established and composed—emphasizing his disciplined restraint and adherence to propriety.
