bhīṣma uvāca | ity ukto janako rājan yāthātathyaṁ manīṣiṇā | śrutvā dharmavidāṁ śreṣṭhaḥ parāṁ mudam avāpa ha ||
Bhīṣma berkata: Wahai Raja, setelah ditegur dan diajar dengan nasihat yang benar dan tepat oleh resi bijaksana itu, Raja Janaka—yang terunggul antara para mengetahui dharma—apabila mendengarnya, memperoleh kegembiraan yang tertinggi.
भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
That truthful, reality-aligned instruction (yāthātathya) given by a genuine sage, when properly heard, brings clarity and deep joy—especially in a ruler committed to dharma—showing the ethical value of receptive listening and respect for wisdom.
Bhishma narrates that after the wise sage (understood here as Parashara) delivers an accurate teaching, King Janaka—renowned as a knower of dharma—listens and becomes greatly pleased, marking Janaka’s approval and assimilation of the counsel.
