भीष्मदर्शनार्थं प्रस्थानम्
Departure to Behold Bhīṣma
शैनेयसहितो धीमान् रथमेवान्वपद्यत | महात्मा पाण्डवोंके पदार्पण करनेपर सात्यकिसहित बुद्धिमान् भगवान् श्रीकृष्ण भी एक ही रथपर आरूढ़ हो गये
śaineyasahito dhīmān rathamevānuvapadyata | mahātmā pāṇḍavoṅke padārpaṇa karanepara sātyakisahito buddhimān bhagavān śrīkṛṣṇo'pi eka eva rathapar ārūḍho'bhavat |
Vaiśampāyana nói: “Bậc trí giả, cùng với Śaineya, tiến đến chiến xa. Và khi vị Pāṇḍava cao cả bước tới để cúi mình đảnh lễ dưới chân Ngài, thì Đức Thế Tôn Śrī Kṛṣṇa—đấng sáng suốt—cũng cùng Sātyaki lên chính cỗ chiến xa ấy.”
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse highlights dharmic conduct through humility and proper honor: a Pāṇḍava offers respectful salutation at the feet, and Kṛṣṇa’s composed response models leadership grounded in decorum rather than mere power.
Vaiśampāyana narrates that the wise figure, accompanied by Śaineya, goes to the chariot; as the Pāṇḍava approaches to pay homage, Śrī Kṛṣṇa—along with Sātyaki—mounts the same chariot, indicating coordinated movement and respectful interaction among allies.
