धृतराष्ट्र–दुर्योधन संवादः
Vāraṇāvata-vivāsana-nīti: Dhṛtarāṣṭra and Duryodhana’s Policy Dialogue
तथेत्युक्त्वा ततस्तस्मै प्रादादस्त्राणि भार्गव: । सरहस्यव्रतं चैव धनुर्वेदमशेषत:
tathety uktvā tatas tasmai prādād astrāṇi bhārgavaḥ | sa-rahasya-vrataṁ caiva dhanur-vedam aśeṣataḥ ||
Sambil berkata, “Demikianlah,” Bhārgava (Paraśurāma) pun mengurniakan kepadanya segala senjata. Baginda juga mengajarkan dengan sempurna Dhanurveda, ilmu memanah—berserta rahsia-rahsianya, disiplin, dan ikrar (vrata) yang mengawal penggunaan yang benar.

Educational Q&A
Martial knowledge is not merely technique; it must be transmitted with its rahasya (guarded principles) and vrata (vows/discipline), implying that power is legitimate only when governed by restraint and dharma.
After consenting (“tathā”), Paraśurāma (the Bhārgava) formally grants weapons and then teaches the recipient the complete Dhanurveda, including the associated secret instructions and observances required for proper use.
