Shloka 2
Adhyāya 39 — त्रिगुणविवेकः (Discrimination of the Three Guṇas) and Avyakta-Doctrine
अन्योन्यमथ रज्यन्ते हान्योन्यं चार्थजीविन: । अन्योन्यमाश्रया: सर्वे तथान्योन्यानुवर्तिन:,ये सभी परस्पर रँँगे हुए, एक-दूसरेसे अनुप्राणित, अन्योन्याश्रित तथा एक-दूसरेका अनुसरण करनेवाले हैं
anyonyam atha rajyante hānyonyaṃ cārthajīvinaḥ | anyonyam āśrayāḥ sarve tathānyonyānuvartinaḥ ||
Vāyu berkata: “Mereka saling terikat dan saling bersuka dalam satu sama lain; mereka hidup demi kebajikan dan sokongan sesama mereka. Kesemuanya bergantung antara satu sama lain, dan demikian juga saling mengikuti jejak.”

Educational Q&A
The verse emphasizes reciprocity and interdependence: beings and social groups flourish through mutual attachment, support, and coordinated conduct. Ethically, it points to dharma as relational—sustained by cooperation rather than isolated self-interest.
Vāyudeva is speaking, describing how all parties are bound together in mutual reliance—each sustaining and following the other—highlighting the interconnected nature of life and duty within the broader discourse of the Ashvamedhika Parva.
