शबलाहरणम्
The Attempted Seizure of Sabalā (Kāmadhenu) and the Triumph of Brahmic Power
शबला सा रुदन्ती च क्रोशन्ती चेदमब्रवीत्।वसिष्ठस्याग्रतस्स्थित्वा मेघदुन्दुभिराविणी।।।।
śabalā sā rudantī ca krośantī cedam abravīt | vasiṣṭhasyāgrataḥ sthitvā meghadundubhirāviṇī ||
នាងសបាលា ទាំងយំទាំងស្រែក បានឈរនៅមុខវសិષ્ઠ ហើយនិយាយពាក្យនេះ ដោយសំឡេងកង្វក់ដូចផ្គរលាន់ និងស្គរធំ។
Lowing and moaning, standing before Vasishta, roaring like thunder and of kettle-drum, Sabala said:
Dharma includes hearing the cry of the afflicted. The verse frames a just hearing: the victim approaches the righteous authority to speak truthfully.
Śabalā reaches Vasiṣṭha and begins her plea, emotionally and powerfully.
Courage to voice suffering and the commitment to truth in seeking redress.
