धृतराष्ट्र–संजय संवादः
Dhṛtarāṣṭra and Sañjaya on Arjuna’s Indraloka report and the political consequences
इदं यः शृणुयाद् वृत्तं नित्यं पाण्डुसुतस्य वै । न तस्य काम: कामेषु पापकेषु प्रवर्तते,जो मनुष्य पाण्डुनन्दन अर्जुनके इस चरित्रको प्रतिदिन सुनता है, उसके मनमें पापपूर्ण विषयभोगोंकी इच्छा नहीं होती
idaṃ yaḥ śṛṇuyād vṛttaṃ nityaṃ pāṇḍusutasya vai | na tasya kāmaḥ kāmeṣu pāpakeṣu pravartate ||
ヴァイシャンパーヤナは語った――般度の子（アルジュナ）のこの物語を日々欠かさず聴く者には、欲望の衝動が罪ある享楽の対象へと向かわない。この叙事そのものが徳の護りとなり、心を害ある快楽から遠ざけるのである。
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
Regularly hearing the virtuous narrative of Arjuna is presented as a practical ethical discipline: it weakens the mind’s tendency to pursue sinful pleasures and supports self-restraint (saṃyama) and dharmic inclination.
The speaker, Vaiśampāyana, concludes or commends an episode about Arjuna by stating its phalaśruti (benefit of hearing): daily listening to this account prevents desire from moving toward morally harmful enjoyments.
