Shloka 306

Devanagari script

अश्रिभ्यां सह सोमं च पिबाम विगतज्वरा: । फिर तो मदके मुखमें पड़े हुए देवताओंने आपसमें सलाह करके इन्द्रसे कहा --'देवराज! आप विप्रवर च्यवनको प्रणाम कीजिये (इनसे विरोध करना अच्छा नहीं है)। हमलोग निश्रिन्त होकर अश्विनीकुमारोंके साथ सोमपान करेंगे”

Transliteration

aśribhyāṁ saha somaṁ ca pibāma vigatajvarāḥ |

Translation

Чьявана (Cyavana) сказал: «Будем пить сому вместе с Ашвинами (Aśvins), свободные от всякой лихорадки и страдания». В окружающем повествовании боги, устрашённые последствиями противостояния мудрецу, посовещались и сказали Индре: «О царь богов! Поклонись превосходнейшему брахману Чьяване (не следует враждовать с ним). Тогда мы сможем без опаски пить сому вместе с близнецами Ашвинами».

Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

Even the powerful must practice humility before spiritual merit (tapas) and dharma; wise counsel avoids needless conflict, and rightful inclusion in ritual is secured through respect rather than force.

What is happening in the narrative?

Cyavana declares that Soma will be drunk together with the Aśvins without fear or affliction. In context, the gods, shaken by the danger of opposing the sage, advise Indra to salute Cyavana so they can safely share Soma with the Aśvin twins.
