धृतराष्ट्र–दुर्योधन संवादः
Vāraṇāvata-vivāsana-nīti: Dhṛtarāṣṭra and Duryodhana’s Policy Dialogue
शरीरमात्रमेवाद्य ममेदमवशेषितम् | अस्त्राणि च महाहाणि शस्त्राणि विविधानि च,अब मेरा यह शरीरमात्र बचा है। साथ ही नाना प्रकारके बहुमूल्य अस्त्र-शस्त्रोंका ज्ञान अवशिष्ट है
śarīramātram evādya mamedam avaśeṣitam | astrāṇi ca mahāhāṇi śastrāṇi vividhāni ca ||
ラーマは言った。「今日、われに残るはこの身ひとつのみ。されど、さまざまなる強大な武器――アストラとシャストラ、形を異にする数多の武芸の知は、なお残っている。」
राम उवाच
Educational Q&A
Even when one is reduced to mere bodily survival, the possession of great power (knowledge of weapons) remains morally significant; dharma demands restraint and right intention in how such power is held and used.
Rāma reflects on his condition: materially he has been stripped down to ‘only this body,’ yet he still retains formidable martial knowledge—astrāṇi and śastrāṇi—highlighting both vulnerability and latent capacity for violence.
