आपद्धर्मनिर्णयः — विश्वामित्र-श्वपचसंवादः
Apaddharma Determination: Dialogue of Viśvāmitra and the Śvapaca
अहं हि भृशमापतन्नस्त्वमापन्नतरो मम । द्वयोरापन्नयो: संधि: क्रियतां मा चिराय च
ahaṁ hi bhṛśam āpatann as tvam āpannataro mama | dvayor āpannayoḥ sandhiḥ kriyatāṁ mā cirāya ca ||
ພີດສະມະກ່າວວ່າ: «ຂ້າພະເຈົ້າຕົກຢູ່ໃນຄວາມທຸກຍາກຢ່າງໜັກ ແລະທ່ານກໍຢູ່ໃນສະພາບທີ່ຫນັກກວ່າຂ້າພະເຈົ້າອີກ. ເມື່ອພວກເຮົາທັງສອງຢືນຢູ່ໃນຄາວພິບັດ ຈົ່ງໃຫ້ມີການປະສານຄືນດີລະຫວ່າງພວກເຮົາ—ຢ່າຊ້າ».
भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
When both sides are afflicted, dharma may favor timely reconciliation (sandhi) over prolonging hostility; delay only deepens harm.
Bhishma urges the other party to recognize their shared crisis and to conclude a settlement quickly, framing peace as a practical and ethical necessity in adversity.
