Hanūmān’s Embrace, Counsel, and Promise to Amplify Bhīma’s Battle-Roar
Gandhamādana Continuation
एकवेदस्य चाज्ञानाद् वेदास्ते बहव: कृता: । सत्त्वस्य चेह विश्रंशात् सत्ये कश्चिदवस्थित:,द्वापरमें सम्पूर्ण एक वेदका भी ज्ञान न होनेसे वेदके बहुत-से विभाग कर लिये गये हैं। इस युगमें सात्त्विक बुद्धिका क्षय होनेसे कोई विरला ही सत्यमें स्थित होता है
ekavedasya cājñānād vedās te bahavaḥ kṛtāḥ | sattvasya ceha viśraṃśāt satye kaścid avasthitaḥ ||
ビーマは言った。「唯一のヴェーダ（Veda）が十分に理解されなかったため、それは分割され、多くのヴェーダとなった。しかもこの時代では、サットヴァ（sattva）の澄明が衰え、真実（satya）に堅く住する者はまれである。」
भीम उवाच
Educational Q&A
Bhima links ethical decline to cognitive and spiritual decline: when clarity (sattva) diminishes, fewer people can remain steady in truth (satya). He also suggests that fragmentation of sacred knowledge can arise from incomplete understanding of an original unity.
In Bhima’s speech, he reflects on the condition of the age: knowledge that was once unified is now treated as many divisions, and moral-spiritual steadiness has weakened, making truthful living rare.
