Apaddharma Determination: Dialogue of Viśvāmitra and the Śvapaca
मयाप्युपायो दृष्टोडयं विचार्य मतिमात्मन: । आत्मार्थ च त्वदर्थ च श्रेयः साधारणं हि नौ
mayāpy upāyo dṛṣṭo ’yaṃ vicārya matim ātmanaḥ | ātmārthaṃ ca tvadarthaṃ ca śreyaḥ sādhāraṇaṃ hi nau ||
ພີດສະມະກ່າວວ່າ: «ຂ້າໄດ້ໃຊ້ປັນຍາຂອງຕົນພິຈາລະນາຢ່າງລະອຽດ ແລະພົບເສັ້ນທາງໜຶ່ງສໍາລັບທັງຂ້າແລະເຈົ້າ—ເສັ້ນທາງທີ່ຮັບໃຊ້ຄວາມດີຂອງຂ້າ ແລະຄວາມດີຂອງເຈົ້າ. ເພາະຄວາມຜາສຸກທີ່ມັນນໍາມາ ບໍ່ແມ່ນຂ້າງດຽວ ແຕ່ເປັນຂອງຮ່ວມກັນຂອງພວກເຮົາທັງສອງ».
भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
Deliberation (vicāra) should aim at śreyas—true welfare—and the best counsel is that which is ethically sound and mutually beneficial rather than narrowly self-serving.
Bhishma, in his role as elder teacher, tells the listener that he has thoughtfully arrived at a practical solution intended to secure the good of both parties, framing his guidance as shared welfare.
