Adhyāya 60: Dāna vs. Yajña—Royal Giving, Protection, and Karmic Share
ततो युधिष्ठिर: प्राह पाण्डवान् पुरुषर्षभ । पितामहस्य यद् वाक्यं तद् वो रोचत्विति प्रभु:
tato yudhiṣṭhiraḥ prāha pāṇḍavān puruṣarṣabha | pitāmahasya yad vākyaṃ tad vo rocatv iti prabhuḥ ||
ແລ້ວຍຸທິສຖິຣ ໄດ້ກ່າວກັບພວກປານດະວະວ່າ: “ໂອ ຜູ້ເປັນດັ່ງງົວຜູ້ໃນຫມູ່ມະນຸດ! ຂໍໃຫ້ຖ້ອຍຄໍາຂອງປິຕາມະຫະ (ພີສະມະ) ເປັນທີ່ພໍໃຈແກ່ພວກເຈົ້າ; ຂໍໃຫ້ພວກເຈົ້າຍອມຮັບມັນ.”
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Dharmic instruction should be received with reverence and a willing mind—especially when it comes from an elder and moral authority like Bhīṣma; Yudhiṣṭhira urges assent rather than resistance.
Vaiśampāyana narrates that Yudhiṣṭhira turns to his brothers and encourages them to accept and approve the counsel given by the grandsire Bhīṣma, setting a tone of respectful listening to ethical guidance.
