Adhyāya 348: Nāga–Nīgabhāryā Saṃvāda on Anger, Hope, and Ethical Response
एवमेष महान् धर्म: स ते पूर्व नृपोत्तम । कथितो हरिगीतासु समासविधिकल्पित:,नृपश्रेष्ठट इस प्रकार यह महान धर्म मैंने तुम्हें पहले हरिगीतामें संक्षेपसे बताया है
evaṁ eṣa mahān dharmaḥ sa te pūrva nṛpottama | kathito harigītāsu samāsavidhikalpitaḥ ||
Sinabi ni Vaiśampāyana: “Kaya, O pinakamahusay sa mga hari, ang dakilang aral na ito tungkol sa dharma ay naipahayag ko na sa iyo noon—na inilatag sa ‘mga awit ni Hari’ at sadyang inayos bilang isang maikli ngunit masinop na buod.”

Educational Q&A
The verse emphasizes that ‘great dharma’ can be transmitted effectively through a disciplined, concise summary, and that such instruction—linked with devotion to Hari—has already been communicated to the king.
Vaiśampāyana, continuing his narration, signals a transition or closure by reminding the addressed king that the essential doctrine of dharma has been previously explained in a summarized, methodically arranged form within the Harigītā passages.
