Shloka 12
पुनः पुनरथोक्ता सा गतसच्त्वेव भामिनी । तूष्णीमासीत् ततो देवो देवानामीश्चरेश्वर:
punaḥ punar athoktā sā gatasattveva bhāminī | tūṣṇīm āsīt tato devo devānām īśvareśvaraḥ ||
بار بار کہے جانے پر بھی وہ تیز رو عورت گویا اپنا حوصلہ کھو بیٹھی ہو، خاموش رہی۔ تب دیوتاؤں کے بھی پروردگار وہ دیو بھی خاموش ہو گیا۔
पितामह उवाच
Educational Q&A
Repeated counsel does not always yield immediate response; when passion exhausts itself, silence can become a deliberate ethical stance—signaling restraint, reflection, and the limits of persuasion.
An impassioned woman, though addressed repeatedly, falls silent as if her inner strength has drained away; afterward the divine figure—described as the supreme lord—also becomes silent, marking a pause where emotion subsides and authority refrains from further speech.
