Lākṣāgṛha Planning
परया श्रद्धयोपेतो योगेन परमेण च । विमोक्षादानसंधाने लघुत्वं परमाप सः,आचार्यमें उत्तम श्रद्धा रखकर उत्तम और भारी अभ्यासके बलसे उसने बाणोंके छोड़ने, लौटाने और संधान करनेमें बड़ी अच्छी फुर्ती प्राप्त कर ली
parayā śraddhayopeto yogena parameṇa ca | vimokṣa-dāna-sandhāne laghutvaṃ param āpa saḥ ||
ヴァイシャンパーヤナは語った。最上の信を備え、至高の規律ある修練に支えられて、彼は矢を放つこと、引き戻すこと、そして的へ正確に定めることにおいて比類なき敏捷を得た—師への敬虔な帰依と厳しい鍛錬が、技をついに達人の域へと磨き上げることを示したのである。
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse highlights that supreme faith (śraddhā)—especially in one’s teacher and training—combined with disciplined practice (yoga) produces excellence: agility and precision arise not merely from talent but from reverent commitment and sustained effort.
Vaiśampāyana describes a student/warrior’s progress in archery: through intense practice and strong faith, he becomes remarkably swift and adept at releasing arrows, retrieving/returning them in training, and accurately aiming and fixing them on the target.
