Jayadratha-rakṣā: Conch Signals and Encirclement of Arjuna
Chapter 79
मधुमांसनिवृत्तानां मदाद् दम्भात् तथानृतात् । परोपतापत्यक्तानां तां गतिं व्रज पुत्रक,पुत्र! जो मद्य और मांसका सेवन नहीं करते, मद, दम्भ और असत्यसे अलग रहते और दूसरोंको संताप नहीं देते हैं, उन्हें मिलनेवाली सदगति तुम्हें भी प्राप्त हो
madhumāṃsa-nivṛttānāṃ madād dambhāt tathānṛtāt | paropatāpa-tyaktānāṃ tāṃ gatiṃ vraja putraka ||
サञ्जयは言った。「わが子よ、蜜と肉を断ち、酩酊と偽りの体裁と虚言を遠ざけ、他者に苦しみを与えぬ者たちに授けられるその善き帰趣――それを汝も得よ。」
संजय उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse teaches ethical self-restraint and social non-harm: abstaining from certain consumptions, rejecting intoxication, hypocrisy, and lying, and avoiding causing distress to others—conduct that leads to a ‘good destiny’ (sadgati).
Sañjaya, in the course of his narration, addresses his son affectionately and offers a moral exhortation: he points to the spiritual outcome promised for those who live with restraint, truth, and compassion, urging his son to seek the same end.
