कपोती-विलापः स्वर्गसंयोगश्च
The Dove’s Lament and Celestial Reunion
भीष्म उवाच शृणु राजन् कथां दिव्यां सर्वपापप्रणाशिनीम् । नृपतेर्मुचुकुन्दस्य कथितां भार्गवेण वै
bhīṣma uvāca śṛṇu rājan kathāṃ divyāṃ sarvapāpapraṇāśinīm | nṛpater mucukundasya kathitāṃ bhārgaveṇa vai ||
Wika ni Bhīṣma: “O Hari, pakinggan mo ang banal na salaysay na ito na pumupuksa sa lahat ng kasalanan. Isinalaysay ito ng Bhārgava (Paraśurāma) kay Haring Muchukunda.”
भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
Sacred narratives, when heard with attention and reverence, are presented as morally purifying—guiding the listener away from wrongdoing and toward dharma.
Bhishma introduces a revered, sin-destroying tale and notes its pedigree: it was previously told by Parashurama (Bhargava) to King Muchukunda, preparing the listener for an instructive exemplum.
