राजोवाच । पितामह महाप्राज्ञ जनाकीर्णे महीतले । कथं नान्ये च राजानो मां कथं कथ्यते त्वया
rājovāca | pitāmaha mahāprājña janākīrṇe mahītale | kathaṃ nānye ca rājāno māṃ kathaṃ kathyate tvayā
王は言った。「祖父よ、大いなる智慧者よ——人々と他の王たちで地上が満ちるこの時、なぜ私だけを選び、あなたは私を語られるのですか。」
King Ripuṃjaya (Divodāsa-to-be)
Tirtha: Kāśī (Avimukta)
Type: kshetra
Scene: The king, still in añjali, looks up with earnest curiosity toward Brahmā; attendants and a suggestion of a populous earth (janākīrṇa) can be symbolized by distant crowds or cityscape.
Humility in the face of honor is praised; the worthy leader questions privilege and seeks the reason in dharma.
Kāśī remains the broader frame; no tirtha is named in this question.
None; it is an inquiry within a divine dialogue.
