Upāya-dharma and Senāyoga: Expedient Ethics & Army Deployment
पक््वसस्या हि पृथिवी भवत्यम्बुमती तदा । नैवातिशीतो नात्युष्ण: कालो भवति भारत,क्योंकि उस समय खेती पक जाती है और भूतलपर जलकी प्रचुरता रहती है। भरतनन्दन! उस समय मौसम भी न तो अधिक ठंडा रहता है और न अधिक गरम
pakvasasyā hi pṛthivī bhavaty ambumatī tadā | naivātiśīto nātyuṣṇaḥ kālo bhavati bhārata ||
ビーシュマは言った。「その時分、大地は実り熟した作物に満ち、水もまた豊かである。おおバーラタよ、その季節は酷寒でも酷暑でもない。」

Educational Q&A
Bhīṣma highlights a mark of well-being and orderly governance: timely seasons that yield ripe harvests and adequate water, with a balanced climate. Such natural balance is presented as conducive to the people’s prosperity and stability.
In Śānti Parva, Bhīṣma instructs Yudhiṣṭhira on principles connected with rājadharma and public welfare. Here he describes a favorable time/season characterized by mature crops, plentiful water, and moderate temperature.
