Adhyāya 142: Cyavana, the Devas’ Arrogance, and Vāyu’s Counsel on Protecting Brāhmaṇas

राजर्षि मदिराश्व अपनी सुन्दरी कन्या विप्रवर हिरण्यहस्तको देकर देवताओंके लोकमें चले गये ।।

bhīṣma uvāca | lomapādaś ca rājarṣiḥ śāntāṃ dattvā sutāṃ prabhuḥ | ṛṣyaśṛṅgāya vipulaiḥ sarvaiḥ kāmair ayujyata ||

भीष्म म्हणाले—राजर्षि मदिराश्वाने आपली सुंदरी कन्या विप्रवर हिरण्यहस्ताला देऊन देवलोकास प्रस्थान केले. तसेच प्रभावशाली राजर्षि लोमपादाने शान्ता नावाची आपली कन्या मुनिवर ऋष्यशृंगाला विवाहात दान केली; त्यामुळे तो विपुल समृद्धीने युक्त झाला आणि त्याच्या सर्व इच्छा पूर्ण झाल्या. यावरून कळते की सत्पुरुषांचा सन्मान व तपस्व्यांना आधार देणे—इहलोक-परलोक दोन्ही ठिकाणी कल्याणकारक ठरते.

Educational Q&A

A king who acts according to dharma—honoring and supporting genuine spiritual excellence—gains both moral merit and practical welfare; righteous alliances and gifts made to worthy recipients are portrayed as conduits of prosperity and fulfillment.

Bhishma recounts that King Lomapada gave his daughter Shanta to the sage Rishyasringa; as a result, Lomapada became endowed with abundant blessings and achieved the fulfillment of his desires.
