Adhyāya 125: Raṅga-pradarśana — Arjuna’s Entry and Astric Demonstration (रङ्गप्रदर्शनम्)
दारकेष्वप्रमत्ता च भवेथाशक्ष हिता मम । अतोजन्यन्न प्रपश्यामि संदेष्टव्यं हि किंचन
dārakeṣv apramattā ca bhavethāśakṣa hitā mama | ato 'nyan na prapaśyāmi sandeṣṭavyaṃ hi kiṃcana ||
“குழந்தைகள் விஷயத்தில் எச்சரிக்கையுடன் இருந்து, அவர்களின் நலனை நாடி கவனமாக வளர்த்து காத்தருள்வாய். இதற்கு அப்பால் உனக்குச் சொல்ல வேண்டியது எனக்கு வேறொன்றும் தோன்றவில்லை.”

Educational Q&A
The verse emphasizes dharma in the form of vigilant guardianship: one should remain attentive and act with the children’s welfare as the guiding motive, treating their upbringing and protection as a primary moral responsibility.
Vaiśampāyana, as narrator, conveys a concluding instruction: the addressee is urged to be careful and well-intentioned toward the children, and the speaker indicates that no further counsel remains to be delivered beyond this essential charge.
