भीष्मदर्शनार्थं प्रस्थानम्

Departure to Behold Bhīṣma

शैनेयसहितो धीमान्‌ रथमेवान्वपद्यत | महात्मा पाण्डवोंके पदार्पण करनेपर सात्यकिसहित बुद्धिमान्‌ भगवान्‌ श्रीकृष्ण भी एक ही रथपर आरूढ़ हो गये

śaineyasahito dhīmān rathamevānuvapadyata | mahātmā pāṇḍavoṅke padārpaṇa karanepara sātyakisahito buddhimān bhagavān śrīkṛṣṇo'pi eka eva rathapar ārūḍho'bhavat |

വൈശമ്പായനൻ പറഞ്ഞു— ശൈനേയനോടുകൂടിയ ബുദ്ധിമാൻ ശ്രീകൃഷ്ണൻ രഥത്തിങ്കലേക്ക് നീങ്ങി. മഹാത്മാവായ പാണ്ഡവൻ അദ്ദേഹത്തിന്റെ പാദങ്ങളിൽ പ്രണാമം ചെയ്യാൻ മുന്നോട്ട് വന്നപ്പോൾ, സാത്യകിയോടുകൂടി ഭഗവാൻ ശ്രീകൃഷ്ണനും അതേ രഥത്തിൽ കയറി.

Educational Q&A

The verse highlights dharmic conduct through humility and proper honor: a Pāṇḍava offers respectful salutation at the feet, and Kṛṣṇa’s composed response models leadership grounded in decorum rather than mere power.

Vaiśampāyana narrates that the wise figure, accompanied by Śaineya, goes to the chariot; as the Pāṇḍava approaches to pay homage, Śrī Kṛṣṇa—along with Sātyaki—mounts the same chariot, indicating coordinated movement and respectful interaction among allies.
