Adhyāya 136: Yavakrī–Bharadvāja Saṃvāda and the Bāladhī–Dhanuṣākṣa Gāthā
Arrogance, Boons, and Nimitta
विकुर्वाणो मुनीनां च व्यचरत् स महीमिमाम् | आससाद महावीर धनुषाक्षं मनीषिणम्,इतना ही नहीं, वह ऋषि-मुनियोंको सतानेके उद्देश्यसे ही इस पृथ्वीपर सब ओर विचरा करता था। एक दिन मेधावी महान् शक्तिशाली एवं मनीषी धनुषाक्षके पास जा पहुँचा
vikurvāṇo munīnāṁ ca vyacarat sa mahīm imām | āsasāda mahāvīra-dhanuṣākṣaṁ manīṣiṇam ||
Hắn biến hóa hình dạng, quấy nhiễu các bậc ẩn sĩ, rồi lang thang khắp mặt đất bốn phương. Trong cuộc phiêu bạt ấy, hắn gặp Dhanuṣākṣa—bậc hiền trí tâm hồn cao cả, một dũng sĩ uy lực phi thường.

Educational Q&A
Harassing ascetics and disrupting spiritual life is portrayed as a grave ethical violation; such adharma inevitably draws confrontation with the wise and the strong who uphold order and protect the vulnerable.
Bharadvaja describes a malicious figure who roams the earth, changing forms and troubling sages; during this course he arrives before the powerful and wise hero Dhanuṣākṣa, setting the stage for an encounter or reckoning.
