मातापितृपूजन-प्रधानधर्मः (Primacy of Filial Service) — Mārkaṇḍeya’s Account of the Vyādha’s Instruction
स तु देवान् सगन्धर्वान् जित्वा धुन्धुरमर्षण: । बबाध सर्वानसकृद् विष्णु देवांश्व वै भूशम्,धुन्धु अमर्षमें भरा हुआ था। उसने गन्धर्व-सहित सम्पूर्ण देवताओंको जीतकर भगवान् विष्णु तथा अन्य देवताओंको बार-बार महान वष्ट देना प्रारम्भ किया
sa tu devān sagandharvān jitvā dhundhur amarṣaṇaḥ | babādha sarvān asakṛd viṣṇuṃ devāṃś ca vai bhṛśam ||
Маркандейя сказал: «Дхундху, исполненный яростного гнева, сперва одолел богов вместе с гандхарвами; затем снова и снова жестоко угнетал их всех, дерзая нападать даже на Вишну и прочих божеств.»
मार्कण्डेय उवाच
Educational Q&A
Power driven by amarṣa (resentful intolerance) becomes destructive: it leads to repeated oppression even of the worthy, threatening dharma and the stability of the world; therefore self-restraint and righteous governance are essential.
Mārkaṇḍeya describes Dhundhu as wrathful and aggressive: he defeats the Devas along with the Gandharvas and then repeatedly harasses them all, even confronting Viṣṇu and the other gods with severe violence.
