धृतराष्ट्रस्य पश्चात्तापः तथा वनप्रस्थानानुज्ञा | Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s Remorse and Request for Forest-Retirement
चक्रवत् तात कार्याणां पर्यायो दृश्यते सदा । कोशस्य निचये यत्नं कुर्वीथा न्न्यायत: सदा
cakravat tāta kāryāṇāṁ paryāyo dṛśyate sadā | kośasya nicaye yatnaṁ kurvīthā nnyāyataḥ sadā ||
ਵੈਸ਼ੰਪਾਯਨ ਨੇ ਆਖਿਆ—ਪਿਆਰੇ, ਕੰਮਾਂ ਦਾ ਚੱਕਰ ਸਦਾ ਪਹੀਏ ਵਾਂਗ ਘੁੰਮਦਾ ਦਿੱਸਦਾ ਹੈ। ਇਸ ਲਈ ਨਿਆਂਯੁਕਤ ਢੰਗਾਂ ਨਾਲ ਤੈਨੂੰ ਹਮੇਸ਼ਾਂ ਖ਼ਜ਼ਾਨੇ ਨੂੰ ਇਕੱਠਾ ਕਰਨ ਅਤੇ ਸੰਭਾਲਣ ਲਈ ਯਤਨ ਕਰਨਾ ਚਾਹੀਦਾ ਹੈ।
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
Worldly affairs and fortunes recur in cycles; therefore one should prepare responsibly by maintaining resources (a treasury) through lawful, ethical means (nyāyataḥ), combining prudence with dharma.
Vaiśampāyana delivers a reflective instruction within the Ashramavāsika context, emphasizing cyclical change in human affairs and advising careful, righteous accumulation of resources as a practical support for duty and stability.
