Vāraṇāvata-vivāsana-nīti: Dhṛtarāṣṭra and Duryodhana’s Policy Dialogue
अग्निवेशं महाभागं भरद्वाज: प्रतापवान् । प्रत्यपादयदाग्नेयमस्त्रमस्त्रविदां वर:,प्रतापी महर्षि भरद्वाज अस्त्रवेत्ताओंमें श्रेष्ठ थे। उन्होंने महाभाग अग्निवेशको आग्नेय अस्त्रकी शिक्षा दी थी
Agniveśaṃ mahābhāgaṃ Bharadvājaḥ pratāpavān | pratyapādayad āgneyam astram astravidāṃ varaḥ ||
Sinabi ni Vaiśampāyana: Ang makapangyarihan at marangal na pantas na si Bharadvāja, na nangunguna sa mga dalubhasa sa agham ng sandata, ay nararapat na nagturo sa marangal na si Agniveśa ng sandatang Agneya. Ipinahihiwatig ng talatang ito ang disiplinadong pagpapamana ng kapangyarihan: ang nakapanghihilakbot na lakas ay hindi inaagaw, kundi ipinagkakaloob sa pamamagitan ng karapat-dapat na pagtuturo at wastong linya ng kaalaman.
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
Extraordinary power (astra-vidyā) is ethically framed as a disciplined inheritance: it is transmitted by a qualified teacher to a worthy recipient, emphasizing responsibility, restraint, and legitimacy rather than mere possession of force.
Vaiśampāyana reports that the sage Bharadvāja, renowned as the foremost expert in astras, formally teaches Agniveśa the Agneya (fire) weapon, marking a moment of authorized instruction within the lineage of martial-spiritual knowledge.
