Prologue to the praise of Śiva and the Upamanyu testimony
तस्याहमभवं पुत्रो धौम्यश्चापि ममानुज:,उन्हींका मैं पुत्र हूँ। मेरे छोटे भाईका नाम धौम्य है। माधव! किसी समय मैं धौम्यके साथ खेलता हुआ पवित्रात्मा मुनियोंके आश्रमपर आया
tasyāham abhavaṁ putro dhaumyaś cāpi mamānujaḥ |
เรานั้นเป็นบุตรของท่าน และธौมยะเป็นน้องชายของเรา
वासुदेव उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse frames a dharmic setting by linking family identity with proximity to sages and their āśrama, implying that moral formation and right conduct are nurtured through contact with pure-minded ascetics and sacred spaces.
Vāsudeva identifies himself as someone’s son and names Dhaumya as his younger brother; he then begins a recollection: while playing with Dhaumya, he arrived at the hermitage of holy sages, setting up the next events of the story.
