अध्याय ५६ — च्यवन–कुशिकसंवादः
Cyavana–Kuśika Dialogue on Lineage, Conflict, and Transmission
ततस्तु तौ नवमभिवीक्ष्य यौवन परस्परं विगतरुजाविवामरौ । ननन्दतु: शयनगतौ वपुर्धरी श्रिया युतौ द्विजवरदत्तया तदा
tatastu tau navam abhivīkṣya yauvanaṁ parasparaṁ vigatarujāv ivāmarau | nanandatuḥ śayanagatau vapurdharī śriyā yutau dvijavaradattayā tadā ||
ビーシュマは言った。「そのとき夫婦は互いを見て、若さが新たに甦ったことを知り、苦患なき神々のごとく見えた。床に横たわりながら、二人は大いに歓喜した。最上の“二度生まれ”の聖者、賢仙チャヴァナより授けられた輝かしい美を具えた新たな身体を得て、夫婦は幸福に満ちたのである。」

Educational Q&A
Righteous living and respectful receptivity to a sage’s guidance can yield tangible well-being; the verse highlights how anugraha (grace) received in a dharmic manner brings health, beauty, and harmony rather than mere sensual gain.
A husband and wife, newly rejuvenated through the boon/aid of the foremost brahmin sage (Cyavana), look at each other and recognize renewed youth; free from illness like the gods, they lie on their bed and rejoice in their restored vitality and splendor.
