अध्याय ६६: संजयेन जनार्दन-प्रभाववर्णनम्
Sañjaya on Janārdana’s Decisive Sovereignty
ततस्तन्मतमाज्ञाय संजयस्यात्मजस्य च । अभ्युपेत्य महाप्राज्ञ: कृष्णद्वैपायनोडब्रवीत्,तदनन्तर परम ज्ञानी श्रीकृष्णद्वैपायन व्यास सभा-भवनमें पहुँचकर संजय तथा अपने पुत्र धृतराष्ट्रके उस विचारको जानकर इस प्रकार बोले--
tatastanmatamājñāya sañjayasyātmajasya ca | abhyupetya mahāprājñaḥ kṛṣṇadvaipāyano 'bravīt ||
そののち、大賢者クリシュナ・ドヴァイパーヤナ(ヴィヤーサ)は、その意図—サンジャヤの意図と、わが子(ドリタラーシュトラ)の意図—を悟り、近づいて語り始めた。物語はここで決定的な瞬間を示す。関わる者たちの胸中の決意を見抜く賢き長老が王の議場に入り、事態が取り返しのつかぬ争いへと固まる前に、ダルマにかなう道へ導こうと諭すのである。
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Wise intervention begins with discerning intentions. The verse highlights the ethical role of a sage: to understand the inner resolve of rulers and advisers and to offer timely counsel so that decisions align with dharma before they lead to harm.
Vaiśampāyana narrates that Vyāsa, perceiving the current intention of Sañjaya and Dhṛtarāṣṭra, comes into the royal assembly and begins to speak—setting up a moment of guidance and admonition in the tense lead-up to the Kurukṣetra conflict.
