Brahmaṇānāṃ Yācanā—Tīrtha-yātrā-prastāvaḥ

The Brahmanas’ Petition and the Proposal of Pilgrimage

तच्चाप्यपहरिष्यामि सव्यसाचिन्युपागते । यच्च ते मानसं वीर तीर्थयात्रामिमां प्रति । स महर्षिलोमशस्ते कथयिष्यत्यसंशयम्‌

taccāpyapahariṣyāmi savyasācin yūpāgate | yacca te mānasaṃ vīra tīrthayātrām imāṃ prati | sa maharṣi-lomaśas te kathayiṣyaty asaṃśayam ||

Vaiśaṃpāyana nói: “Ta cũng sẽ gỡ bỏ điều ấy khi vị cung thủ thuận cả hai tay đến. Và bất cứ ý định nào trong lòng ngươi, hỡi dũng sĩ, về cuộc hành hương đến các bến thiêng—hiền giả Lomaśa chắc chắn sẽ giảng giải cho ngươi, không còn nghi hoặc.”

Educational Q&A

Right action is clarified through competent guidance: inner resolve about a dharmic undertaking (here, pilgrimage) should be examined and explained by a trustworthy sage, removing doubt and aligning intention with dharma.

The narrator indicates that once Arjuna (Savyasācin) arrives, a present uncertainty will be dispelled, and that the sage Lomaśa will certainly explain the hero’s inner intention concerning the ongoing pilgrimage.
