Shloka 24
संयज उवाच इति श्रुत्वा वचस्तस्य केशवस्य महात्मन: । धर्मपुत्र: प्रह्ष्टात्मा दाशा्ई वाक््यमत्रवीत्
saṃjaya uvāca—iti śrutvā vacas tasya keśavasya mahātmanaḥ | dharmaputraḥ prahṛṣṭātmā dāśārhaṃ vākyam abravīt ||
Sinabi ni Saṃjaya: “O hari! Nang marinig ang mga salitang ito ni Keśava na dakila ang loob, si Dharmaputra (Yudhiṣṭhira) ay nagalak sa kaibuturan. Sa pusong napasigla, nagsimula siyang magsalita kay Dāśārha (Śrī Kṛṣṇa), binubuksan ang isang pag-uusap—hudyat ng panibagong linaw at katatagan sa dharma sa gitna ng bigat ng digmaan.”
संयज उवाच
Educational Q&A
Right counsel from a wise and virtuous guide steadies the mind: when Yudhiṣṭhira hears Kṛṣṇa’s words, his inner turmoil gives way to clarity and confidence, enabling him to engage in purposeful, dharma-aligned dialogue even in the midst of war.
Saṃjaya reports to the king that after listening to Kṛṣṇa (Keśava), Yudhiṣṭhira (Dharmaputra) becomes pleased at heart and begins speaking to Kṛṣṇa (Dāśārha), marking the start of a conversation following Kṛṣṇa’s preceding statement.
