धृतराष्ट्र–दुर्योधन संवादः
Vāraṇāvata-vivāsana-nīti: Dhṛtarāṣṭra and Duryodhana’s Policy Dialogue
स तु ज्ञानगरीयस्त्वात् तपसश्न समर्थनात् | अवतस्थे महाप्राज्ञो धैर्यरेण परमेण ह,शरद्वान् ज्ञानमें बहुत बढ़े-चढ़े थे और उनमें तपस्याकी भी प्रबल शक्ति थी। अतः वे महाप्राज्ञ मुनि अत्यन्त धीरतापूर्वक अपनी मर्यादामें स्थित रहे
sa tu jñānagarīyastvāt tapasaś ca samarthanāt | avatasthē mahāprājño dhairyēṇa paramēṇa ha ||
Disse Vaiśampāyana: Por ser preeminente no conhecimento e estar firmemente amparado pelo poder da austeridade (tapas), aquele grande sábio—de vasto entendimento—permaneceu sólido dentro dos limites do decoro, com suprema firmeza.
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse teaches that genuine knowledge (jñāna) and austerity (tapas) culminate in dhairya—steady self-control—so that a wise person remains within maryādā (proper bounds) rather than being driven by agitation or impulse.
Vaiśampāyana describes a great sage who, endowed with superior knowledge and strengthened by ascetic power, stays firmly established and composed—emphasizing his disciplined restraint and adherence to propriety.
