Damayantī’s Lament, Serpent-Seizure, Rescue by the Hunter, and the Curse
तैः समेत्य विनिश्चित्य सो<नुज्ञातो महीपते । ययौ मिथुनमारोप्य विदर्भास्तेन वाहिना,राजन्! उनसे मिलकर इस विषयपर भलीभाँति विचार करके उन मन्त्रियोंकी आज्ञा ले सारथि वार्ष्णेयने दोनों बालकोंको रथपर बैठाकर विदर्भ देशको प्रस्थान किया
taiḥ sametya viniścitya so 'nujñāto mahīpate | yayau mithunam āropya vidarbhās tena vāhinā ||
王よ、彼は彼らと会してこの事を慎重に評議し、その同意を得た。ついで御者ヴァールシュネーヤ(Vārṣṇeya)は二人の幼子を戦車に乗せ、その車をもってヴィダルバの国へと旅立った――衝動の力に任せず、正当な許しと賢明な助言に従って行動したのである。
बृहृदश्चव उवाच
The verse highlights prudent, dharmic action: important steps—especially involving dependents—should be taken only after consultation, careful decision, and proper authorization, reflecting responsibility rather than rashness.
After meeting with the relevant people and deciding the matter, permission is granted; then the charioteer Vārṣṇeya places the two children on the chariot and sets out for Vidarbha.
