चित्रसेन-समागमः / The Engagement with Citrasena and the Gandharvas
अवधानेन सुभगे नित्योत्थिततयैव च । भर्तारो वशगा महां गुरुशुश्रूषयैव च,'सौभाग्यशालिनी सत्यभामे! मैं सावधानीसे सर्वदा सबेरे उठकर समुचित सेवाके लिये सन्नद्ध रहती हूँ। गुरुजनोंकी सेवा-शुश्रूषासे ही मेरे पति मेरे अनुकूल रहते हैं
avadhānena subhage nityotthitatayaiva ca | bhartāro vaśagā mahān guruśuśrūṣayaiva ca ||
幸いある者よ。心を配り、日々早く起きて、ふさわしい奉仕のために常に整えておくこと。とりわけ、長老や師に対する篤い奉仕と敬いによって、夫は和やかに心を寄せ、よく応じるようになるのです。
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse teaches that steadiness in daily discipline (especially attentiveness and early rising) and respectful, devoted service to elders/teachers cultivates harmony in the household; influence arises from dharmic conduct rather than force.
In Vaiśampāyana’s narration, counsel is being conveyed to Satyabhāmā about the conduct that sustains a well-ordered household—highlighting practical virtues (carefulness, punctuality, service to elders) as the basis for a husband’s favorable disposition.
