Parāśara’s Counsel on बुद्धि (Discernment), Karma-Consequences, and Avoidance of Pāpānubandha Actions
तथाविष्टमथो ज्ञात्वा ऋषयो देवतास्तथा । स्तुवन्त: शक्रमीशानं तथा प्राचोदयन्नपि
tathāviṣṭam atho jñātvā ṛṣayo devatās tathā | stuvantaḥ śakram īśānaṃ tathā prācodayann api ||
ビーシュマは言った。「ヴリトラがその圧倒的な苦患に囚われたと知るや、聖仙と神々は、主宰たるシャクラ(インドラ)を讃え、同時にヴリトラ討伐へと彼を励まし、前へと促した。」
भीष्म उवाच
When disorder threatens the world, dharmic protection requires timely, resolute action; the wise and the divine community strengthen the rightful agent through praise, counsel, and exhortation so that duty is carried out without hesitation.
Sages and gods recognize that Vṛtra is under a powerful affliction/possession and, in response, they praise Indra (Śakra) and urge him to proceed toward Vṛtra’s slaying, rallying him to fulfill his role as protector.
