Ajñātavāsa-saṅkalpaḥ — Yudhiṣṭhira’s Resolve and Dhaumya’s Exempla on Concealment
यम उवाच स्वमेव राज्यं प्रतिपत्स्यते5चिरा- न्नच स्वधर्मात् परिहास्यते नृपः । कृतेन कामेन मया नृपात्मजे निवर्त गच्छस्व न ते श्रमो भवेत्,यमराज बोले--राजा झ्युमत्सेन शीघ्र एवं अनायास ही अपना राज्य प्राप्त कर लेंगे और वे कभी अपने धर्मका भी परित्याग नहीं करेंगे। राजकुमारी! मेरेद्वारा अब तेरी इच्छा पूरी हो गयी। तू लौट जा, जिससे तुझे परिश्रम न हो
yama uvāca: svam eva rājyaṁ pratipatsyate cirān na ca svadharmāt parihāsyate nṛpaḥ | kṛtena kāmena mayā nṛpātmaje nivarta gacchasva na te śramo bhavet ||
ヤマは言った。「久しき時を経て、王は必ずや自らの王国を取り戻し、正しき務め—ダルマ—から決して逸れぬ。姫よ、そなたの願いはすでに我が手で成就した。引き返して帰るがよい、そなたに苦労が及ばぬように。」
यम उवाच
Educational Q&A
Steadfastness in svadharma is upheld as the mark of a righteous ruler: even amid loss and delay, the king will regain his rightful kingdom without abandoning dharma, and divine power supports outcomes aligned with ethical order.
Yama addresses a princess, assuring her that the king (Jyumat-sena) will recover his kingdom in due course and will not forsake dharma; he states that her requested boon has been granted and instructs her to return so she need not undergo further hardship.
