अध्याय ५६ — च्यवन–कुशिकसंवादः
Cyavana–Kuśika Dialogue on Lineage, Conflict, and Transmission
तत्रापि राजा प्रीतात्मा यथादिष्टमथाकरोत् । ततो<स्य भगवान् प्रीतो बभूव मुनिसत्तम:
tatrāpi rājā prītātmā yathādiṣṭam athākarot | tato 'sya bhagavān prīto babhūva munisattamaḥ ||
ആ കാര്യത്തിലും രാജാവ് സന്തോഷഹൃദയത്തോടെ നിർദേശിച്ചതുപോലെ തന്നെ ചെയ്തു. അതിനാൽ മുനിശ്രേഷ്ഠനായ ഭഗവാൻ (ച്യവനൻ) അവനിൽ അത്യന്തം പ്രസന്നനായി.

Educational Q&A
A ruler should follow righteous instruction with a willing and joyful mind; sincere compliance (not mere outward submission) earns the approval of the wise and strengthens one’s dharma.
Bhishma narrates that King Kushika, even in a difficult or delicate task, carried out the sage’s directive exactly as told; as a result, the revered sage Chyavana became satisfied with him.
