वसुदेव–अर्जुन संवादः
Vasudeva–Arjuna Dialogue in the Aftermath of Dvārakā
ततो वृद्धांश्व बालांश्व॒ स्त्रियश्चञादाय पाण्डव: | वीरैविंहीनान् सर्वास्तान् शक्रप्रस्थे न्यवेशयत्,तत्पश्चात् वीरविहीन समस्त वृद्धों, बालकों तथा अन्य स्त्रियोंको साथ लेकर वे इन्द्रप्रस्थ आये और उन सबको वहाँका निवासी बना दिया
tato vṛddhāṃś ca bālāṃś ca striyaś cādāya pāṇḍavaḥ | vīra-vihīnān sarvāṃs tān śakra-prasthe nyaveśayat ||
ヴァイシャンパーヤナは語った。ついでパーンダヴァは、老人と子どもと女たち――いまや皆、守り手たる勇士を失った者たち――を伴ってインドラプラスタへ赴き、そこに住まわせた。荒廃ののち、彼は保護と再定住という倫理の重荷を引き受け、弱き者を無住と無秩序の中に捨て置かなかった。
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
Even after catastrophic loss, dharma expresses itself as responsibility: the ruler/leader must protect and provide stability for those most vulnerable—elders, children, and women—by ensuring shelter, security, and orderly resettlement.
Following the destruction of the Yādavas and the ensuing desolation, the Pāṇḍava gathers the survivors who lack their warrior protectors and brings them to Indraprastha (Śakraprastha), establishing them there as residents.
