bharadvāja uvāca | śabdaḥ sparśaś ca rūpaṃ ca rasaś cāpi guṇāḥ smṛtāḥ | rasa-jñānaṃ tu vakṣyāmi tan me nigadataḥ śṛṇu ||
ភារទ្វាជៈ បានមានពាក្យថា៖ «សំឡេង ប៉ះ រូប និងរស—ទាំងនេះ ត្រូវបានចងចាំថាជាគុណលក្ខណៈ។ ឥឡូវនេះ ខ្ញុំនឹងពន្យល់អំពីចំណេះដឹងនៃ “រស”—ចូរស្តាប់ ខណៈដែលខ្ញុំបង្ហាញវា»។
भरद्वाज उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse introduces a doctrinal move from naming sensory qualities (sound, touch, form, taste) to a deeper explanation of rasa (taste) and its varieties, framing careful listening and discernment as the method for understanding sense-qualities within a broader analysis of nature.
In Śānti Parva’s instructional setting, the sage Bharadvāja is speaking and begins a focused exposition on ‘taste’ after listing the sensory qualities, signaling a transition into a more detailed classification and explanation.
