स्त्रीपर्व १: धृतराष्ट्रशोकः संजयाश्वासनं च
Strī Parva 1: Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s Lament and Saṃjaya’s Consolation
ध्यानमूकत्वमापन्नं चिन्तया समभिप्लुतम् । अभिगम्य महाराज संजयो वाक्यमब्रवीत्,महाराज! उन्हीं पुत्रोंका ध्यान करते-करते वे मौन हो गये, चिन्तामें डूब गये। उस अवस्थामें उनके पास जाकर संजयने इस प्रकार कहा--
dhyāna-mūkatvam āpannaṁ cintayā samabhiplutam | abhigamya mahārāja sañjayo vākyam abravīt ||
憂いの思いに呑まれ、王は深い思索の沈黙に落ちていた。そのさまを見てサンジャヤは近づき、次のように言葉をかけた。
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse highlights how grief and anxious rumination can render a person inwardly immobilized; ethical counsel begins by restoring attention and speech so that one can face responsibility and reality rather than remain submerged in sorrow.
Dhṛtarāṣṭra, absorbed in painful thoughts (especially of his sons), has become silent. Sañjaya approaches him and begins to speak, initiating a dialogue in the Strī Parva’s opening context of post-war lamentation and reckoning.
