Uttarā-vilāpaḥ and Kṛṣṇasya satya-vacanenābhi-mañyu-jasyābhijīvanam

Uttarā’s Lament and the Revival of Abhimanyu’s Son by Krishna’s Truth-Act

द्रव्याणि स्थापितानि सम विधिवत्‌ कुशलैर्जनै: । तेजस्वी श्रीकृष्णने देखा कि व्यवस्थाकुशल मनुष्योंद्वारा वहाँ सब ओर राक्षसोंका निवारण करनेवाली नाना प्रकारकी वस्तुएँ विधिपूर्वक रखी गयी थीं

dravyāṇi sthāpitāni samaṃ vidhivat kuśalair janaiḥ | tejasvī śrīkṛṣṇena dṛṣṭaṃ yat vyavasthākuśalaiḥ manuṣyair tatra sarvato rākṣasanivāraṇāni nānāprakārāṇi vastūni vidhipūrvakaṃ nyastāni sma |

ヴァイシャンパーヤナは言った。供物の品々は、熟達した者たちによって、儀礼の法に従い、偏りなく整然と据えられていた。光輝あるシュリー・クリシュナは、周囲の至る所で、段取りに通じた者たちが、ラークシャサを退けるためのさまざまな護りの品を、作法どおり正しく配置しているのを見た――それは祭儀を守るための規律と警戒のしるしであった。

Educational Q&A

Ritual and ethical responsibility require both correctness (vidhi) and competence (kuśalatā): sacred acts are protected and sustained through orderly preparation, vigilance, and adherence to prescribed norms, reflecting dharma in practice.

As the rite proceeds, Kṛṣṇa notices that capable attendants have carefully arranged the necessary materials and placed protective items all around to avert rākṣasa-related disturbances, indicating meticulous management of the sacrificial setting.
