Shloka 32
भीष्मद्रोणयोर्दुर्योधनं प्रति शमोपदेशः | Bhīṣma and Droṇa’s Counsel of Conciliation to Duryodhana
ते व्यतीत्य महाध्वान क्षिप्रं श्येना इवाशुगा: । उच्चैर्जग्मुरुपप्लव्यं शार्डधन्वानमावहन्
te vyatītya mahādhvānaṃ kṣipraṃ śyenā ivāśugāḥ | uccair jagmur upaplavyaṃ śārṅgadhanvānam āvahan ||
وَیشَمپایَن نے کہا— وہ تیز پرواز بازوں کی مانند اس طویل راہ کو جھٹ پٹ طے کرگئے اور شارنگ دھنُش کے دھارک بھگوان شری کرشن کو اُپپلاویہ نگر میں پہنچا دیا۔
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
Urgency can be dharmic when it serves a rightful purpose: swift action, disciplined like a hawk’s flight, is praised when directed toward duty—here, facilitating Kṛṣṇa’s timely presence for counsel and alliance in a critical moral-political moment.
A group (contextually, those escorting or conveying Kṛṣṇa) rapidly completes a long journey and brings Kṛṣṇa, identified by his epithet ‘wielder of the Śārṅga bow,’ to the city of Upaplavya, a key location for the Pāṇḍavas’ preparations and consultations before the great conflict.
