Transliteration

athāpaśyan mahābāhur ṛṣīn dhvani keśavaḥ | brāhmyayā śriyā dīpyamānān sthitān ubhayataḥ pathi ||

Translation

Вайшампаяна сказал: Затем Кешава, могучерукий, увидел мудрецов, стоявших по обе стороны дороги и сиявших брахманским величием. Их присутствие на пути служило нравственным и духовным свидетельством разворачивающейся политической миссии, напоминая путникам, что власть и расчёт должны мериться дхармой и авторитетом аскетического прозрения.
