अग्राह्य-ज्ञातिसंबन्धमण्डल-विवेचनम् / Managing Unreadable Kinship Networks: Vāsudeva–Nārada on Cohesion
ज्ञातीनां वक्तुकामानां कटुकानि लघूनि च । गिरा त्वं हृदयं वाचं शमयस्व मनांसि च
jñātīnāṁ vaktukāmānāṁ kaṭukāni laghūni ca | girā tvaṁ hṛdayaṁ vācaṁ śamayāsva manāṁsi ca
جب رشتہ دار بولنے پر آمادہ ہوں تو ان کے الفاظ کڑوے اور حقیر کرنے والے بھی ہو جاتے ہیں؛ اس لیے تم اپنی گفتگو سے ان کے دلوں کو ٹھنڈا کرو اور ان کے ذہنوں کو بھی پرسکون کرو۔
नारद उवाच
Educational Q&A
Use restrained, calming speech to prevent harsh or disparaging talk among relatives from escalating; ethical communication is a means of restoring mental peace and social harmony.
Nārada instructs the listener that when family members are stirred up and ready to speak, their words can become cutting or contemptuous; the advised response is to pacify hearts and settle minds through conciliatory speech.
