धृतराष्ट्र–दुर्योधन संवादः
Vāraṇāvata-vivāsana-nīti: Dhṛtarāṣṭra and Duryodhana’s Policy Dialogue
स तु ज्ञानगरीयस्त्वात् तपसश्न समर्थनात् | अवतस्थे महाप्राज्ञो धैर्यरेण परमेण ह
sa tu jñānagarīyastvāt tapasaś ca samarthanāt | avatasthē mahāprājño dhairyēṇa paramēṇa ha ||
ಅವನು ಜ್ಞಾನದಲ್ಲಿ ಶ್ರೇಷ್ಠನಾಗಿದ್ದನು; ತಪಸ್ಸಿನ ಪ್ರಬಲ ಶಕ್ತಿಯ ಬೆಂಬಲವೂ ಅವನಿಗಿತ್ತು. ಆದಕಾರಣ ಆ ಮಹಾಪ್ರಾಜ್ಞ ಮುನಿ ಪರಮ ಧೈರ್ಯದಿಂದ ಧರ್ಮಮರ್ಯಾದೆಯ ಮಿತಿಯೊಳಗೆ ದೃಢವಾಗಿ ನಿಂತನು.
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse teaches that genuine knowledge (jñāna) and austerity (tapas) culminate in dhairya—steady self-control—so that a wise person remains within maryādā (proper bounds) rather than being driven by agitation or impulse.
Vaiśampāyana describes a great sage who, endowed with superior knowledge and strengthened by ascetic power, stays firmly established and composed—emphasizing his disciplined restraint and adherence to propriety.
