Shloka 7
युधिष्ठिरस्य नगरप्रवेशः — चार्वाकप्रकरणं
Yudhiṣṭhira’s Entry into the City and the Cārvāka Episode
ततो देवा: समेताश्च ब्रह्माणमिदमन्रुवन् । वधाय रक्षसस्तस्य बलविप्रकृतास्तदा,तब उसके बलसे तिरस्कृत हुए सब देवताओंने एकत्र हो ब्रह्माजीसे उसके वधके लिये प्रार्थना की
tato devāḥ sametāś ca brahmāṇam idam anruvan | vadhāya rakṣasas tasya balaviprakṛtās tadā ||
Pagkaraan, nagtipon ang mga diyos at nagsalita kay Brahmā ng ganito: yamang sila’y napasuko at napahiya ng lakas ng rākṣasa, nakiusap sila para sa kanyang paglipol.
वायुदेव उवाच
Educational Q&A
When disruptive power (bala) becomes oppressive and destabilizes the world, the proper response is to seek restoration of dharma through legitimate, higher authority rather than acting from uncontrolled vengeance. The gods model collective, lawful recourse to Brahmā as a guardian of cosmic order.
A powerful rākṣasa has humiliated and overpowered the gods. In response, they gather and approach Brahmā, requesting that he arrange or authorize the slaying of that rākṣasa to re-establish balance.
