कुन्ती–व्याससंवादः
Kuntī–Vyāsa Dialogue on Durvāsā’s Boon and Karṇa’s Birth
तत्रैव तेषां कृत्यानि गड्जाद्वारेडन्वशात् तदा । कर्तव्यानीति पुरुषान् दत्तदेयान्महीपति:
tatraiva teṣāṁ kṛtyāni gaḍjādvāreḍanvaśāt tadā | kartavyānīti puruṣān dattadeyān mahīpatiḥ ||
ヴァイシャンパーヤナは語った。「その場で王は、門とその周辺に定められた秩序に従い、なすべき務めについて人々——正当に受け取るべき分を与えられる者たち——に指示を下した。かくして、なすべきことはなされ、しかるべき配分も滞りなく授けられたのである。」
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse highlights rājadharma: a ruler must ensure that necessary duties are executed in proper order and that people receive what is rightfully due to them. Ethical governance is shown through clear instruction, orderly procedure, and fair distribution.
Vaiśampāyana narrates that the king, on the spot, issues instructions to his men about the tasks that must be performed and about giving out what is owed or allotted, maintaining order around the gate area and ensuring proper arrangements.
