अध्वर्यु–यति संवादः
Adhvaryu–Yati Dialogue on Svabhāva, Ahiṃsā, and Mokṣa
इस प्रकार श्रीमह्याभारत आश्वमेधिकपववके अन्तर्गत अनुगीतापर्वमें ब्राह्मणगीतासग्बन्धी सत्ताईसवाँ अध्याय पूरा हुआ
brāhmaṇa uvāca | upapacantyā yatis tṛṣṇīṁ vartamānas tataḥ param | adhvaryur api nirmohaḥ pracacāra mahāmakhe ||
Bà-la-môn nói: “Này người yêu dấu, khi Adhvaryu đáp lại bằng lý lẽ vững chắc, vị khổ hạnh liền im lặng, không nói thêm lời nào. Rồi Adhvaryu cũng thoát khỏi mê lầm và tiếp tục tiến bước trong đại tế lễ ấy.”
ब्राह्मण उवाच
Educational Q&A
Reasoned understanding dispels confusion: when a point is met with proper yukti (sound reasoning), contentious speech subsides, and one should proceed with clarity (nirmoha) in one’s rightful duty.
A debate between an ascetic (yati) and the sacrificial priest (adhvaryu) reaches a turning point: the ascetic becomes silent after the priest’s reasoned reply, and the priest, now free of doubt, continues the great sacrificial rite.
