Cyavana’s Reconciliation with Indra; Tīrtha-Indexing at Ārcīka-parvata and Yamunā

Chapter 125

इह ते5प्यवसन्‌ राजन क्षान्ता: परमधर्मिण: । मैत्राणामृजुबुद्धीनामयं गिरिवर: शुभ:

iha te 'py avasan rājan kṣāntāḥ paramadharmiṇaḥ | maitrāṇām ṛjubuddhīnām ayaṃ girivaraḥ śubhaḥ ||

Tâu Đại vương, nơi đây xưa kia cũng từng có những người nhẫn nhịn, một lòng phụng sự dharma tối thượng cư ngụ. Với những ai hiền hòa và ngay thẳng—những người mang tình thân thiện với muôn loài—ngọn núi tuyệt hảo này là chốn nương náu cát tường.

Educational Q&A

The verse praises kṣānti (forbearance), paramadharma (highest righteousness), maitrī (universal friendliness), and ṛjubuddhi (straightforward integrity), presenting such virtues as what makes a place truly auspicious and fit for the good.

Lomaśa addresses the king during the forest narrative, pointing out that this very mountain was formerly inhabited by supremely righteous, patient, and benevolent people, thereby sanctifying the location and framing it as a worthy refuge for the virtuous.
