Envoy-Ethics and the Episode of Śuka
सचपत्रलघुर्भूत्वाहरिभिर्दर्शितेभये ।अन्तरिक्षेस्थितोभूत्वापुनर्वचनमब्रवीत् ।।।।
sa ca patralaghur bhūtvā haribhir darśite bhaye |
antariḳṣe sthito bhūtvā punar vacanam abravīt ||
ແລ້ວ ສຸກະ ກໍເຮັດກາຍໃຫ້ເບົາດັ່ງມີປີກ ແລະເມື່ອຄວາມຢ້ານທີ່ວານອນເຄີຍສະແດງນັ້ນຖອນຫາຍ ລາວກໍລອຍຢູ່ໃນອາກາດໂລ່ງ ແລ້ວເລີ່ມກ່າວອີກຄັ້ງ
Suka, felt secure in the air and finding monkeys also settled, once again spoke these words.
Dharma enables dialogue: once violence is restrained, speech and negotiation can proceed even between enemies.
After being spared, Śuka regains a safe position in the air and resumes his message.
Composure under pressure—Śuka continues his assigned role after escaping immediate harm.
