Shloka 263

यज्ञवाटवैभववर्णनम् / Description of the Splendour of the Sacrificial Enclosure

मातृभ्यां सहितो धीमान्‌ कुरूनेव जगाम ह | इसी समय बुद्धिमान्‌ राजा बश्रुवाहन अपनी दोनों माताओंके साथ कुरुदेशमें जा पहुँचा

mātṛbhyāṃ sahito dhīmān kurūn eva jagāma ha |

Yudhiṣṭhira nói: “Cùng đi với cả hai người mẹ, bậc trí giả ấy lên đường và quả thật đã đến xứ sở của nhà Kuru.” Trong mạch truyện, đây là dấu mốc cho sự trở về đầy bổn phận của Babhruvāhana về cõi Kuru cùng các bậc mẫu thân hộ trì, nhấn mạnh trách nhiệm gia tộc, sự hòa giải và việc phục hồi những quan hệ chính đáng sau xung đột.

Educational Q&A

The verse highlights dharma expressed as responsible return and familial solidarity: a wise ruler acts with propriety, honoring maternal bonds and restoring social order through respectful reconciliation rather than pride or isolation.

Babhruvāhana, described as wise, travels with both his mothers and arrives in the Kuru country; Yudhiṣṭhira narrates this movement as part of the broader Ashvamedha-related events and the re-linking of allied lineages after turmoil.
