अध्याय ५६ — च्यवन–कुशिकसंवादः
Cyavana–Kuśika Dialogue on Lineage, Conflict, and Transmission
अथाब्रवीन्नूपो वाक््यं श्रमो नास्त्यावयोरिह । विश्रान्तौ च प्रभावात् ते ऊचतुस्तौ तु भार्गवम्
atha abravīn nūpaḥ vākyam—śramo nāsty āvayor iha | viśrāntau ca prabhāvāt te ūcatuḥ tau tu bhārgavam ||
Wika ni Bhishma: Pagkatapos, nagsalita si Haring Nūpa sa Bhārgava (Chyavana): “Dito, ni isa sa amin ay hindi nakadarama ng pagod. Sa bisa ng iyong kapangyarihan, natamo namin ang ganap na pahinga at ginhawa.” Nang masabi na nila iyon, ang kagalang-galang na si Chyavana, muling napuno ng galak, ay tumugon na ang nauna niyang sinabi ay hindi mauuwi sa wala, kundi tiyak na matutupad.
भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the moral and spiritual efficacy of tapas (ascetic power): a realized sage’s prabhāva can remove fatigue and grant genuine relief, and such power makes one’s word (satya-vākya) effective—what is spoken with spiritual authority is not empty but tends toward fulfillment.
King Nūpa and his companion address the Bhārgava sage Chyavana, reporting that they feel no tiredness and are fully refreshed due to his influence. In response, Chyavana rejoices and affirms that his earlier declaration will not be in vain and will certainly come to pass.
