Vāraṇāvata-vivāsana-nīti: Dhṛtarāṣṭra and Duryodhana’s Policy Dialogue
अग्निवेशं महाभागं भरद्वाज: प्रतापवान् । प्रत्यपादयदाग्नेयमस्त्रमस्त्रविदां वर:,प्रतापी महर्षि भरद्वाज अस्त्रवेत्ताओंमें श्रेष्ठ थे। उन्होंने महाभाग अग्निवेशको आग्नेय अस्त्रकी शिक्षा दी थी
Agniveśaṃ mahābhāgaṃ Bharadvājaḥ pratāpavān | pratyapādayad āgneyam astram astravidāṃ varaḥ ||
Vaiśampāyana berkata: Resi Bharadvāja yang gagah dan termasyhur, terunggul antara para ahli ilmu persenjataan, telah mengajarkan dengan sewajarnya kepada Agniveśa yang mulia senjata Agneya. Petikan ini menekankan pemindahan kuasa yang berdisiplin: kekuatan yang dahsyat bukan dirampas, tetapi dianugerahkan melalui pengajaran yang layak dan susur galur ilmu yang sah.
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
Extraordinary power (astra-vidyā) is ethically framed as a disciplined inheritance: it is transmitted by a qualified teacher to a worthy recipient, emphasizing responsibility, restraint, and legitimacy rather than mere possession of force.
Vaiśampāyana reports that the sage Bharadvāja, renowned as the foremost expert in astras, formally teaches Agniveśa the Agneya (fire) weapon, marking a moment of authorized instruction within the lineage of martial-spiritual knowledge.
