Adhyāya 90: Babhruvāhana’s Reception and the Commencement of Yudhiṣṭhira’s Aśvamedha

उष्णार्तश्न क्षुधार्तश्न विप्रस्तपसि संस्थित:

Nakula uvāca: uṣṇārtaś ca kṣudhārtaś ca vipras tapasi saṁsthitaḥ, kṣapayāmāsa taṁ kālaṁ kṛcchra-prāṇo dvijottamaḥ.

នកុលៈ «ព្រះព្រាហ្មណ៍ដ៏ប្រសើរ ដែលឈរជាប់ក្នុងតបស្យា ត្រូវទុក្ខទាំងកម្តៅទាំងឃ្លាន។ ដោយរក្សាជីវិតបានតែដោយការលំបាកយ៉ាងខ្លាំង គាត់បានអត់ធ្មត់ឲ្យពេលវេលានោះកន្លងផុតទៅ—នៅតែស្ថិតស្ថេរនៅក្នុងវ្រតៈ មិនបោះបង់វិន័យ ទោះខ្វះខាត និងទ្រាំទុកទុក្ខវេទនាដោយមិនរអាក់រអួល។»

Educational Q&A

Steadfastness in dharma and tapas is shown through endurance: even under severe heat and hunger, the ascetic does not abandon discipline, illustrating ethical resilience and commitment to a chosen vow.

Nakula describes a Brahmin engaged in austerities who suffers intense heat and hunger yet continues his penance, barely sustaining life while passing the time through hardship without giving up.
