Shloka 30
अर्हणनिर्णयः
Decision on the Highest Honor at the Assembly
तस्मै भीष्माभ्यनुज्ञात: सहदेव: प्रतापवान् | उपजद्वेडथ विधिवद् वार्ष्णेयायार्घ्यमुत्तमम्,भीष्मजीकी आज्ञा मिल जानेपर प्रतापी सहदेवने वृष्णिकुलभूषण भगवान् श्रीकृष्णको विधिपूर्वक उत्तम अर्घ्य निवेदन किया
tasmai bhīṣmābhyanujñātaḥ sahadevaḥ pratāpavān | upajagāma tataḥ kṛṣṇaṃ vidhivad vārṣṇeyāyārghyam uttamam ||
Com a permissão de Bhishma, o valente Sahadeva aproximou-se de Krishna—o mais eminente entre os Vrishnis—e, segundo o rito prescrito, ofereceu-lhe o melhor arghya (oferta de honra).
भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
Honor should be conferred through dharmic procedure and wise authorization: Sahadeva’s reverence is not merely personal devotion but a public, rule-governed act endorsed by Bhīṣma, aligning ritual propriety with moral legitimacy.
In the royal assembly context (Rājasūya setting), after receiving Bhīṣma’s approval, Sahadeva formally approaches Kṛṣṇa and offers him the highest arghya, marking Kṛṣṇa as the foremost recipient of honor in the gathering.
