द्रोणपर्व (अध्याय १) — भीष्मनिधनानन्तरं धृतराष्ट्रस्य शोकः, सेनायाः स्थितिः, कर्णस्मरणं च
Droṇa Parva, Chapter 1: Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s grief after Bhīṣma’s fall and the army’s reorientation toward Karṇa
तस्य चिन्तयतो दुःखमनिशं पार्थिवस्य तत् | आजगाम विशुद्धात्मा पुनर्गावल्गणिस्तदा,वे भूपाल निरन्तर उस दुःखदायिनी घटनाका ही चिन्तन करते रहे। उसी समय विशुद्ध अन्त:ःकरणवाला गवल्गणपुत्र संजय पुनः उनके पास आया
tasya cintayato duḥkham aniśaṃ pārthivasya tat | ājagāma viśuddhātmā punar gāvalgaṇis tadā ||
王がその悲しみを絶え間なく思い巡らせていたその時、まさにその折に、心清きガーヴァルガナの子サンジャヤが再び王のもとへ来た。
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
Persistent rumination on sorrow deepens inner turmoil; the arrival of a pure-minded counselor (Sañjaya) suggests the ethical need to seek clarity, steadiness, and right judgment even amid war-driven grief.
Dhṛtarāṣṭra is continuously thinking about a distressing development; at that moment Sañjaya, known as Gāvalgaṇa’s son and described as pure-hearted, comes to him again—setting up the next exchange of report and counsel.
