Vasiṣṭha as Purohita: Ascetic Mastery and Royal Counsel
तान् भीतान् विगतज्ञानान् भीम: प्रहरतां वर: । सान्त्वयामास बलवान् समये च न्यवेशयत्
tān bhītān vigatajñānān bhīmaḥ praharatāṃ varaḥ | sāntvayāmāsa balavān samaye ca nyaveśayat ||
ते भयभीत व विवेकहरण झालेले पाहून, प्रहार करणाऱ्यांत श्रेष्ठ असा बलवान भीम त्यांना धीर देऊ लागला आणि योग्य वेळी त्यांना पुन्हा नीट व्यवस्थेत बसविले.
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Strength is most dharmic when paired with restraint and timely judgment: a true leader calms panic, restores discernment, and re-establishes order instead of exploiting fear.
Those present have become frightened and mentally unsettled; Bhīma, renowned for martial power, reassures them and positions them appropriately at the right time, bringing the situation back under control.
