Shloka 58
इन्द्रस्य दुःखप्राप्तिः—त्रिशिरोवधः, वृत्रोत्पत्तिः, जृम्भिकाजननम्
Indra’s Distress: Slaying of Triśiras, Birth of Vṛtra, and the Origin of Yawning
समेत्य सह शक्रेण त्वष्टस्तेजोविमोहिता: । आमन्त्रयन्त ते सर्वे मुनिभि: सह भारत
sametya saha śakreṇa tvaṣṭas tejo-vimohitāḥ | āmantrayanta te sarve munibhiḥ saha bhārata ||
Śalya nói: “Hỡi Bhārata, tất cả chư thiên—bị sức mạnh ghê gớm của Tvaṣṭṛ làm cho bối rối—đã tụ hội cùng Śakra (Indra) và với các bậc hiền triết, rồi bàn định: ‘Giờ đây chúng ta phải làm gì?’”
शल्य उवाच
Educational Q&A
When overwhelmed by another’s power (tejas), even the mighty must pause, seek wise counsel, and act through deliberation rather than panic—an ethical reminder that right action begins with clear judgment and guidance.
The gods, shaken by Tvaṣṭṛ’s potency, gather with Indra and the sages to consult on their next course of action, signaling a moment of strategic and moral deliberation in a divine crisis.
