अर्जुनदुःखहेतुप्रश्नः — Inquiry into the cause of Arjuna’s recurring hardship
Book 14, Chapter 89
ततस्ते ब्राह्मणा: सर्वे मुदिता जग्मुरालयान् । तर्पिता वसुना तेन धर्मराजेन धीमता
tataste brāhmaṇāḥ sarve muditā jagmur ālayān | tarpitā vasunā tena dharmarājena dhīmatā ||
ਤਦੋਂ ਉਹ ਸਾਰੇ ਬ੍ਰਾਹਮਣ ਹਿਰਦੇ ਵਿੱਚ ਪ੍ਰਸੰਨ ਹੋ ਕੇ ਆਪਣੇ-ਆਪਣੇ ਘਰਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਚਲੇ ਗਏ। ਬੁੱਧਿਮਾਨ ਧਰਮਰਾਜ ਯੁਧਿਸ਼ਠਿਰ ਨੇ ਉਸ ਧਨ ਨਾਲ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਪੂਰੀ ਤਰ੍ਹਾਂ ਤ੍ਰਿਪਤ ਅਤੇ ਸੰਤੁਸ਼ਟ ਕਰ ਦਿੱਤਾ ਸੀ।
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
A righteous king upholds dharma through dāna: giving wealth in a way that genuinely satisfies the recipients, especially learned brāhmaṇas, is portrayed as a concrete expression of ethical governance and social responsibility.
After receiving gifts/wealth, the brāhmaṇas are pleased and return to their homes; the narrator emphasizes that Dharmarāja Yudhiṣṭhira, being wise, has fully gratified them through his generous distribution.
