Vyāsa’s Counsel to Yudhiṣṭhira: Pratismṛti-vidyā, Arjuna’s Aśtra-Quest, and the Move to Kāmyaka
दिव्येभ्यश्वैव भूतेभ्यो ये चान्ये परिपन्थिन: । आप बड़े भाईका आदर करनेवाले हैं, उनकी आज्ञाके पालक हैं। भरतश्रेष्ठ! मैं आपकी शान्तिके लिये वसु, रुद्र, आदित्य, मरुदगण, विश्वेदेव तथा साध्य देवताओंकी शरण लेती हूँ। भारत! भौम, आन्तरिक्ष तथा दिव्य भूतोंसे और दूसरे भी जो मार्गमें विघध्न डालनेवाले प्राणी हैं, उन सबसे आपका कल्याण हो
divyebhyaś caiva bhūtebhyo ye cānye paripanthinaḥ |
Vaiśaṃpāyana disse: “Que estejas a salvo dos seres celestes e de todos os demais seres que possam obstruir o caminho. Porque honras teu irmão mais velho e obedeces ao seu comando, invoco para tua paz a proteção dos Vasus, Rudras, Ādityas, Maruts, Viśvedevas e Sādhyas. Que haja bem-estar para ti contra as forças terrenas, atmosféricas e celestes, e contra quaisquer criaturas que causem impedimento na jornada.”
