Shloka 11
अर्हणनिर्णयः
Decision on the Highest Honor at the Assembly
जनमेजय! उस समय वहाँ समस्त क्षत्रियोंका सम्मेलन देखकर मुनिवर नारदजी सहसा चिन्तित हो उठे
janamejaya! tadā tatra samastakṣatriyāṇāṁ samāgamaṁ dṛṣṭvā munivaro nāradaḥ sahasā cintito ’bhavat
Vaiśampāyana berkata: “Wahai Janamejaya, pada waktu itu, melihat perhimpunan besar semua kṣatriya yang berkumpul di sana, resi Nārada tiba-tiba dikuasai renungan yang cemas.”
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
A wise person reads the moral and political signs of the time: when power gathers in one place amid rivalry, the potential for adharma and conflict increases, and vigilance becomes a duty.
Vaiśampāyana tells Janamejaya that Nārada, seeing a large congregation of kṣatriya rulers, becomes suddenly concerned—suggesting he anticipates serious consequences arising from this convergence of royal forces.
