Angiras Teaching
क्षीणस्याप्यायन दृष्ट क्षतस्प क्षतरोहणम् । व्याधितस्यौषधग्राम: क्रुद्धस्य च प्रसादनम्
kṣīṇasyāpyāyanaṃ dṛṣṭaṃ kṣatasya kṣatarohaṇam | vyādhitasyauṣadhagrāmaḥ kruddhasya ca prasādanam ||
Aṅgiras berkata: “Bahkan bagi yang kurus kering pun terlihat pemulihan; yang terluka dapat sembuh dan tumbuh kembali; bagi yang sakit ada seluruh himpunan ubat-ubatan; dan bagi yang marah ada penenang yang mendamaikan.”
अंगियरा उवाच
Educational Q&A
That human troubles have corresponding remedies: weakness can be restored, wounds can heal, illness has medicines, and anger can be calmed—so one should choose appropriate, dharmic means of recovery rather than act from despair or rage.
Aṅgiras is speaking in an instructive mode, using everyday examples (nourishment, wound-healing, medicine, and pacification) to argue that even difficult inner states like anger are treatable and should be addressed through proper methods.
