Shloka 115
Atithi-satkāra and the Consolation of Wise Counsel (अतिथिसत्कारः प्रज्ञानवचनस्य च पराश्वासनम्)
अथ रुद्रविघातार्थमिषीकां नर उद्धरन्
atha rudra-vighātārtham iṣīkāṃ nara uddharan
Тогда человек, желая противостоять преграде, воздвигнутой Рудрой, вырвал тростинку — готовя простое средство защиты перед лицом божественного препятствия.
तामिन्द्र उवाच गच्छ नहुषस्त्वया वाच्योथ<पूर्वेण मामृषियुक्तेन यानेन त्वमधिरूढ
Educational Q&A
Even when confronted by forces beyond ordinary human control, one should respond with alertness and purposeful action; resolve and right intention are shown through immediate, practical effort rather than panic.
A man perceives a hindrance associated with Rudra and, to counter it, uproots a reed—an improvised implement—signaling readiness to meet the obstruction and proceed.
