छत्रोपानहदानफलप्रशंसा — Praise of the Merit of Donating Umbrella and Footwear
जमदम्नेश्व संवाद सूर्यस्य च महात्मन: । पुरा स भगवान् साक्षाद्धनुषाक्रीडयत् प्रभो
jamadagneś ca saṃvādaḥ sūryasya ca mahātmanaḥ | purā sa bhagavān sākṣād dhanuṣā krīḍayat prabho, ānīya sā tadā tasmai prādād asakṛd acyuta |
Wika ni Bhishma: “O panginoon, sa bagay na ito’y isinasalaysay ang isang sinaunang pag-uusap nina rishi Jamadagni at ng dakilang-loob na Araw. Noong unang panahon, ang kagalang-galang na Jamadagni mismo ay naglalaro sa busog—nagsasanay ng pana bilang isang disiplinadong pagsasanay. Sa panahong iyon, ang kanyang asawa na si Renuka ay paulit-ulit na nagbabalik ng mga palasong naipana na at muling iniaabot sa kanya.”
भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse frames a dharmic ideal of disciplined practice supported by orderly household cooperation: Jamadagni’s focused training and Renukā’s repeated assistance illustrate steadiness, service, and alignment of daily action with righteous purpose.
Bhīṣma introduces an old account of a dialogue between Jamadagni and Sūrya. As the setting, Jamadagni is practising archery, and his wife repeatedly retrieves and returns the fired arrows to him.
