Adhyāya 59: On Giving to the Asker and Supporting the Non-asking (याचक-अयाचक-दाने धर्मः)

जनेश्वर! क्षत्रियलोग सदासे ही भृगुवंशी ब्राह्मणोंके यजमान हैं; किंतु प्रारब्धवश आगे चलकर उनमें फूट हो जायगी। इसलिये वे दैवकी प्रेरणासे समस्त भृगुवंशियोंका संहार कर डालेंगे। नरेश्वर! वे दैवदण्डसे पीड़ित हो गर्भके बच्चेतकको काट डालेंगे ।। तत उत्पत्स्यतेडस्माकं कुले गोत्रविवर्धन: । ऊर्वो नाम महातेजा ज्वलनार्कसमद्युति:,तदनन्तर मेरे वंशमें ऊर्व नामक एक महातेजस्वी बालक उत्पन्न होगा, जो भार्गव गोत्रकी वृद्धि करेगा। उसका तेज अग्नि और सूर्यके समान दुर्धर्ष होगा

janeśvara! kṣatriyaloko sadāsa hi bhṛguvaṃśī brāhmaṇoṃ ke yajamāna hai; kiṃtu prārabdhavaśa āge calakara unameṃ phūṭa ho jāyagī. isaliye ve daivakī preraṇāse samasta bhṛguvaṃśiyoṃ kā saṃhāra kara ḍāleṃge. nareśvara! ve daivadaṇḍase pīḍita ho garbhake bacce taka ko kāṭa ḍāleṃge. tata utpatsyate 'smākaṃ kule gotravivardhanaḥ | ūrvo nāma mahātejā jvalanārkasamadyutiḥ ||

人々の主よ、クシャトリヤはまことにブリグ族(Bhṛgu)系のバラモンにとってのヤジャマーナ(yajamāna、祭祀の施主)である。だが宿命の力により、やがて両者の間に亀裂が生じる。ゆえに神の衝きに駆られて、彼らはブリグの一族をことごとく屠るであろう。王よ、運命の杖に苦しめられ、胎内の子にさえ刃を及ぼす。しかる後、我らの系譜にウールヴァ(Ūrva)という大いなる威光の子が生まれ、バールガヴァ(Bhārgava)のゴートラを増し広げる。その輝きは火と太陽のごとく、抗しがたい。

Educational Q&A

The passage frames social rupture and extreme violence as arising under the pressure of prārabdha (set destiny) and daiva (fate/divine agency), while also emphasizing the ethical gravity of such acts—especially harm to the unborn—and the idea that lineage and dharma can be restored through a righteous successor (Ūrva) who preserves the gotra.

A speaker addresses a king, predicting that although Kshatriyas are normally patrons of the Bhṛgu Brahmins, destiny will cause a split leading to the slaughter of the Bhṛgu line, even extending to unborn children. After this devastation, a powerful child named Ūrva will be born in the speaker’s lineage to revive and expand the Bhārgava gotra.
