Yoga–Sāṃkhya Synthesis, Chariot Allegory, and the Vyakta–Avyakta Distinction
श्रद्धधाना जितक्रोधा दानशीलानसूयव: । भृतपुत्रा भूतामात्या भृतदारा हानीर्षव:
śraddadhānā jitakrodhā dānaśīlā anasūyavaḥ | bhṛtaputrā bhūtāmātyā bhṛtadārā hānīrṣavāḥ ||
シャクラは言った。「彼らは信と信頼を備え、怒りをすでに征服していた。施しに富み、他人の徳に瑕疵を探さず、嫉みを抱かなかった。妻や子、そして大臣など、己に依る者を養い支え、自己制御と布施と善意に根ざす家住者のダルマを体現していた。」
शक्र उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse praises a model of righteous conduct: faith (śraddhā), mastery over anger, habitual generosity, refusal to disparage others’ good qualities, and freedom from envy—paired with responsible support of one’s dependents and public duties.
Śakra (Indra) is describing the character of exemplary people, highlighting their inner discipline and social responsibility as marks of dharmic life, especially in the context of Śānti Parva’s ethical instruction.
