Shloka 112
Śiva-nāmānukīrtana-prastāvaḥ
Prologue to the praise of Śiva and the Upamanyu testimony
तस्याहमभवं पुत्रो धौम्यश्चापि ममानुज:,उन्हींका मैं पुत्र हूँ। मेरे छोटे भाईका नाम धौम्य है। माधव! किसी समय मैं धौम्यके साथ खेलता हुआ पवित्रात्मा मुनियोंके आश्रमपर आया
tasyāham abhavaṁ putro dhaumyaś cāpi mamānujaḥ |
Vāsudeva nói: “Ta là con trai của vị ấy, còn Dhaumya là em trai ta. Hỡi Mādhava, có lần, khi ta đang vui đùa cùng Dhaumya, ta đã đến am thất của các bậc ẩn sĩ có tâm hồn thanh tịnh.”
वासुदेव उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse frames a dharmic setting by linking family identity with proximity to sages and their āśrama, implying that moral formation and right conduct are nurtured through contact with pure-minded ascetics and sacred spaces.
Vāsudeva identifies himself as someone’s son and names Dhaumya as his younger brother; he then begins a recollection: while playing with Dhaumya, he arrived at the hermitage of holy sages, setting up the next events of the story.
