Shloka 43
Sārasvata–Dadhīca Upākhyāna at Sarasvatī Tīrtha
Balarāma’s Pilgrimage Context
ततो मुनिवरं भूयो जैगीषव्यमथासित:
tato munivaraṃ bhūyo jaigīṣavyam athāsitaḥ
Kemudian, sekali lagi, resi yang mulia, Jaigīṣavya, duduk semula—sebagai tanda bahawa baginda bersedia memperbaharui nasihatnya dan meneruskan kisah yang sedang terungkap, dengan ketenangan serta wibawa seorang pelihat.
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse underscores the authority and steadiness of a muni: ethical instruction and truthful narration are conveyed through disciplined composure, and the act of ‘sitting again’ marks a deliberate return to sustained counsel rather than impulsive speech.
Vaiśampāyana reports that the eminent sage Jaigīṣavya sat down again, indicating a transition point where the sage resumes or continues a discourse, instruction, or account within the ongoing Shalya Parva narration.
