Apaddharma Determination: Dialogue of Viśvāmitra and the Śvapaca
ईदृशो नौ समायोगो भविष्यति सुविस्तर: । अहं त्वां तारयिष्यामि मां च त्वं तारयिष्यसि,“इसी प्रकार हम दोनोंका यह संयोग चिरस्थायी होगा। मैं तुम्हें विपत्तिसे पार कर दूँगा और तुम मुझे आपत्तिसे बचा लोगे”
īdṛśo nau samāyogo bhaviṣyati suvistaraḥ | ahaṃ tvāṃ tārayiṣyāmi māṃ ca tvaṃ tārayiṣyasi ||
かくして、われらの結びつきは久しく保たれ、広く伝わるであろう。われは汝を危難の時に渡らせ、汝はまた危険が迫るとき、われを守り救い出すであろう。

Educational Q&A
The verse emphasizes reciprocal duty and loyalty: a relationship grounded in mutual protection, where each party commits to rescuing the other in adversity—an ethical ideal of steadfast alliance within dharma.
Bhīṣma speaks of an enduring bond between two parties, describing their continued association as far-reaching and promising mutual deliverance from danger—he will save the other in calamity, and the other will likewise save him.
