Adhyāya 45 — Duryodhana’s Distress, Śakuni’s Counsel, and the Summons for Dyūta
शिशुपालके वधके लिये भगवान्का हाथमें चक्र ग्रहण करना दुर्योधनका स्थलके भ्रमसे जलमें गिरना प्रह्श: केशवं जग्मु: संस्तुवन्तो महर्षय: । ब्राह्मणाश्न महात्मान: पार्थिवाश्न महाबला:
prahr̥ṣṭāḥ keśavaṃ jagmuḥ saṃstuvanto maharṣayaḥ | brāhmaṇāś ca mahātmānaḥ pārthivāś ca mahābalāḥ ||
歓喜して、大いなる聖仙たちはケーシャヴァのもとへ赴き、彼を讃えた。高潔なる心を持つバラモンたちも、強大な王たちもまた同様であった。この場面は道義の一致を示す――驕慢と暴力が सभा(集会)の秩序を脅かすとき、正しき者は、聖者であれ王者であれ、ダルマの守護者を敬虔な讃嘆と帰依によって認めるのである。
वैशम्पायन उवाच
When dharma is upheld in a public and royal setting, the wise and the righteous openly support and praise the protector of order; ethical authority is affirmed not by fear or faction, but by collective recognition from sages, Brahmins, and kings.
After the decisive events in the assembly, groups of eminent sages, Brahmins, and powerful kings approach Keśava (Kṛṣṇa) with joy and offer praises, indicating approval and reverence for his role in restoring order.
