Adhyāya 33: Antarvedī-Samāgama, Arghya-Nirṇaya, and Śiśupāla’s Objection

मां वाप्यभ्यनुजानीहि सहैभिरनुजैर्विभो | अनुज्ञातस्त्वया कृष्ण प्राप्त॒यां क्रतुमुत्तमम्‌

māṃ vāpy abhyanujānīhi sahaibhir anujair vibho | anuñjñātas tvayā kṛṣṇa prāptayāṃ kratum uttamam prabho ||

یُدھِشٹھِر نے کہا—اے پروردگار، میرے چھوٹے بھائیوں کے ساتھ مجھے بھی اجازت عطا فرمائیے۔ اے کرشن، آپ کی اجازت ملنے پر ہی میں اُس اعلیٰ ترین یَجْن کی دِیکشا اختیار کروں گا؛ کیونکہ میرے نزدیک درست عمل کی ابتدا مناسب رضامندی اور مقررہ ترتیب ہی سے ہوتی ہے۔

Educational Q&A

Even a righteous goal (a great sacrifice) should be pursued through proper authorization, humility, and adherence to dharmic procedure—seeking counsel and consent rather than acting from pride or haste.

Yudhiṣṭhira addresses Kṛṣṇa, requesting his explicit permission to take the ritual consecration for the supreme sacrifice, and asks that this permission extend to his younger brothers as well.
