Puṣkara-Śapatha Itihāsa (Agastya–Indra Dispute at the Tīrthas) | पुष्कर-शपथ-आख्यानम्
भीष्म उवाच इत्युक्त्वा हेमगर्भाणि हित्वा तानि फलानि वै | ऋषयो जम्मुरन्यत्र सर्व एव धृतव्रता:
bhīṣma uvāca | ity uktvā hemagarbhāṇi hitvā tāni phalāni vai | ṛṣayo jagmur anyatra sarva eva dhṛtavratāḥ |
ビーシュマは言った。「ユディシュティラよ！ そう言い終えると、誓戒に堅きすべての大仙人は、黄金を満たしたその果実を捨て去り、そこを離れて他所へと去って行った。」
भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
Steadfastness in vows and dharma requires detachment: even attractive, wealth-laden offerings should be renounced when they threaten to distract from spiritual discipline and ethical resolve.
After making a statement (implied by “having said thus”), the sages abandon the gold-filled fruits and leave the place, demonstrating their firmness in vows and refusal to be swayed by material temptation.
