Vyāsa’s Boon-Offer and Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s Remorse in the Forest Assembly (आश्रमवासिक पर्व, अध्याय ३६)
उवाच चैनं मेधावी युड्क्ष्वात्मानमिति प्रभो । उन्हें उस अवस्थामें देख मेधावी संजयने उनकी परिक्रमा की और कहा--“महाराज! अब अपनेको योगयुक्त कीजिये
uvāca cainaṁ medhāvī yujasvātmanam iti prabho |
နာရဒ မိန့်တော်မူသည်– ထိုအခြေအနေ၌ သူ့ကိုမြင်သောအခါ ပညာရှိ စဉ္ဇယ သည် လေးစားစွာ ပတ်လည်လှည့်ကာ «အရှင်မင်းမြတ်၊ မိမိကိုယ်ကို ယောဂ၌ ချည်နှောင်ပါ—စိတ်ကို စုစည်းတည်ငြိမ်စေပါ» ဟု ပြောလေ၏။
नारद उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse urges inner yoking (Yoga): gathering the mind and directing the self toward steadiness and spiritual discipline. Ethical strength is shown as self-mastery—especially when one is weakened or nearing life’s end.
Nārada narrates that the wise Sañjaya, seeing the person addressed in a particular condition, circumambulates him as a sign of reverence and then exhorts him: “O lord, compose yourself in Yoga; yoke your self.”
