Shloka 8
क्षत्रियाणामभावाय दैवयुक्तेन हेतुना । सतुतंप्रतिगृहौव पुत्रे संक्रामयिष्यति,वे क्षत्रियोंका संहार करनेके लिये दैववश उस थधरनुर्वेदको ग्रहण करके तपस्यासे शुद्ध अन्तःकरणवाले अपने पुत्र महाभाग जमदग्निको उसकी शिक्षा देंगे। भृगुश्रेष्ठ जमदग्नि उस धनुर्वेदको धारण करेंगे
kṣatriyāṇām abhāvāya daivayuktena hetunā | sa tu taṃ pratigṛhya uva putre saṅkrāmayiṣyati | ye kṣatriyāṇāṃ saṃhāraṃ kartum daivavaśāt taṃ dhanurvedaṃ gṛhītvā tapasyā-śuddhāntaḥkaraṇo ’sya putre mahābhāge jamadagnau tasya śikṣāṃ dāsyati | bhṛguśreṣṭho jamadagniḥ taṃ dhanurvedaṃ dhārayiṣyati |
Disse Vyavavana: “Para a extinção dos kṣatriyas, por uma causa ligada ao destino, ele aceitará essa ciência do arco e a transmitirá a seu filho. Com o íntimo purificado pela austeridade, sob a compulsão da sorte, ensinará esse Dhanurveda a seu ilustre filho Jamadagni. Jamadagni, o mais eminente dos Bhṛgu, então portará e preservará esse saber.”
व्यववन उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse frames the transfer of martial knowledge (Dhanurveda) within a moral universe where destiny (daiva) and human agency interact: even powerful skills are transmitted as part of a larger, fated unfolding, and the worthiness of the recipient is marked by inner purification through tapas.
A speaker predicts that, for a divinely driven purpose—specifically the eventual destruction of the Kṣatriyas—someone will receive the Dhanurveda and pass it to his son Jamadagni, who, as a foremost Bhṛgu sage, will preserve and embody that martial knowledge.
