स तु प्राप्तमहाराज्यस्तारकः पांडुसत्तम । उवाच दानवश्रेष्ठान्युक्तियुक्तमिदं वचः
sa tu prāptamahārājyastārakaḥ pāṃḍusattama | uvāca dānavaśreṣṭhānyuktiyuktamidaṃ vacaḥ
وہ عظیم سلطنت پا کر تارک نے—اے پاندوؤں میں برتر—دانَووں کے سرداروں سے یہ بات کہی جو حکمت و تدبیر سے بھرپور تھی۔
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta), narrating to the sages
Listener: ‘Pāṇḍusattama’ (epic-style addressee within the narration)
Scene: Tāraka in council, standing or seated slightly elevated, addressing the foremost Dānavas; gestures of command and persuasion; attentive, armored asuras in semicircle.
Even adharma often presents itself with persuasive “reasoning”; discernment (viveka) is needed to judge aims, not just arguments.
