नियोगप्रसङ्गः — The Niyoga Episode: Births of Dhṛtarāṣṭra, Pāṇḍu, and Vidura
भविष्यति च धर्मात्मा सर्वशास्त्रविशारद: । पितुः प्रियहिते युक्त: स्त्री भोगान् वर्जयिष्यति,“और धर्मात्मा तथा सब शाम्त्रोंमें निपुण विद्वान् होंगे; पिताके प्रिय एवं हितमें तत्पर रहकर स्त्री-सम्बन्धी भोगोंका परित्याग कर देंगे”
bhaviṣyati ca dharmātmā sarvaśāstraviśāradaḥ | pituḥ priyahite yuktaḥ strībhogān varjayiṣyati ||
ਉਹ ਧਰਮਾਤਮਾ ਹੋਵੇਗਾ ਅਤੇ ਸਭ ਸ਼ਾਸਤਰਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਨਿਪੁਣ ਵਿਦਵਾਨ ਬਣੇਗਾ। ਪਿਤਾ ਦੇ ਪ੍ਰਿਯ ਅਤੇ ਹਿਤ ਵਿੱਚ ਲੀਨ ਰਹਿ ਕੇ ਉਹ ਇਸਤ੍ਰੀ-ਸੰਬੰਧੀ ਭੋਗਾਂ ਦਾ ਤਿਆਗ ਕਰੇਗਾ।
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse praises an ideal of dharma grounded in learning and self-control: true excellence is shown by mastery of śāstra, commitment to a parent’s welfare, and restraint from sensual indulgence—especially when such restraint supports higher duties.
Vaiśampāyana is describing a person’s future qualities and conduct: he will be righteous and learned, act for his father’s dear and beneficial interests, and therefore abstain from pleasures associated with women.
