Shloka 30
Śamī-vṛkṣe śastra-nidhāna and Entry into Virāṭa’s Capital (शमीवृक्षे शस्त्रनिधानम्)
यत्र चापश्यत स वै तिरोवर्षाणि वर्षति । तत्र तानि ट्ढै: पाशै: सुगाढं पर्यबन्धत,क्योंकि उन्होंने देखा, वहाँ मेघ तिरछी वृष्टि करता है (जिससे खोंखलोंमें पानी नहीं पड़ता)। उन्हींमें उन आयुधोंको रखकर मजबूत रस्सियोंसे उन्हें अच्छी तरह बाँध दिया
yatra cāpaśyat sa vai tirovarṣāṇi varṣati | tatra tāni dṛḍhaiḥ pāśaiḥ sugāḍhaṃ paryabandhat |
ヴァイシャンパーヤナは語った。雨が斜めに降り、洞へ水が入り込まぬ場所を見定めると、彼はそこに武具を置き、強い縄で堅く結びつけて確かに固定した。この行いは、用意周到な隠匿と武器を預かる者の慎重な務めを示す。無用の危険を避けつつ、正しき義務の時に備えを失わぬのである。
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
Even in adversity, one should act with foresight and restraint: safeguarding powerful resources (like weapons) responsibly, minimizing harm and loss, and preserving readiness for dharmic action when required.
The narrator describes how the weapons are hidden in a place protected from direct rainfall (because rain falls obliquely there), and then tied up tightly with strong ropes so they remain secure and undamaged.
