ब्राह्मणपूजा-राजधर्मः | Royal Duty of Honoring Learned Brahmins
किमागमनकृत्य ते सर्व प्रब्रूहि मे नूप । यत् ते प्रियं तत् करिष्ये न मे5त्रास्ति विचारणा
kim āgamanakṛtyaṃ te sarvaṃ prabrūhi me nṛpa | yat te priyaṃ tat kariṣye na me 'trāsti vicāraṇā ||
ພີສະມະກ່າວວ່າ: “ໂອ້ ພະຣາຊາ, ຈົ່ງບອກຂ້າພະເຈົ້າໃຫ້ຄົບຖ້ວນວ່າ ທ່ານມາທີ່ນີ້ເພື່ອການໃດ. ຈົ່ງເວົ້າລາຍລະອຽດທັງປວງ. ສິ່ງໃດທີ່ທ່ານຮັກແພງ—ວຽກໃດທີ່ທ່ານປາຖະໜາ—ຂ້າພະເຈົ້າຈະກະທຳໃຫ້. ໃນເລື່ອງນີ້ ໃຈຂ້າພະເຈົ້າບໍ່ມີຄວາມລັງເລ.”

The verse highlights the ethic of responsive duty: a trusted elder or counselor invites full disclosure of the king’s purpose and commits to act for the king’s welfare without wavering, emphasizing loyalty, clarity, and readiness to serve dharma through action.
Bhīṣma addresses a king who has approached him, asking the reason for the visit and requesting a complete account. He assures the king that he will carry out whatever the king desires, indicating steadfast support and willingness to help.
