Droṇānīka-praveśa: Arjuna’s respectful appeal to Droṇa and renewed advance toward Jayadratha (द्रोणानीकप्रवेशः)

स दर्शपौर्णमासाभ्यां कालेष्वाग्रयणेन च । चातुर्मास्यैश्न विविधैर्यज्नैशज्ञावाप्तदक्षिणै:

sa darśapaurṇamāsābhyāṃ kāleṣv āgrayaṇena ca | cāturmāsyaiś ca vividhair yajñaiś ca jñāvāptadakṣiṇaiḥ ||

ナーラダは言った。「彼は定められた時に、ダールシャ祭とパウルナマーサ祭を正しく執り行い、またアーグラヤーナの供えもなした。さらに、季節ごとに行うべき種々のチャートゥルマーシャ祭を修し、規定のダクシナー(祭祀の謝礼)を添えて滞りなく成就した。かくしてその生は、秩序と時を敬い、正しい施与を重んじつつ、ヴェーダの務めを厳しく守る規律に貫かれていた。」

Educational Q&A

The verse highlights dharma as disciplined, timely observance of prescribed duties—especially yajñas—together with rightful giving (dakṣiṇā). Ethical life is shown as alignment with sacred order (kāla, proper time) and responsibility toward the ritual community.

Nārada is describing a person’s exemplary conduct by listing the Vedic rites he regularly performed—Darśa-Paurṇamāsa, Āgrayaṇa, and Cāturmāsya—emphasizing that they were done at the correct times and completed with the proper sacrificial fees.
