धृतराष्ट्र–दुर्योधन संवादः
Vāraṇāvata-vivāsana-nīti: Dhṛtarāṣṭra and Duryodhana’s Policy Dialogue
स्वागतं ते द्विजश्रेष्ठ यदिच्छसि वदस्व मे । एवमुक्तस्तु रामेण भारद्वाजोडब्रवीद् वच:
svāgataṃ te dvijaśreṣṭha yad icchasi vadasva me | evam uktas tu rāmeṇa bhāradvājo 'bravīd vacaḥ ||
毗湿摩波耶那说：“婆罗门中最胜者啊，欢迎你。你所欲者，尽可告我。”罗摩（帕拉舒罗摩）如此发问后，婆罗陀婆阇之子德罗纳便陈其言——向以苦行与施与著称的武士圣者提出请求，也由此揭开正当求取、慷慨施予与财富权势之果报之间的伦理张力。
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse foregrounds dharmic etiquette and moral responsibility in giving and asking: a worthy recipient should state a just desire plainly, and a powerful giver must weigh generosity with discernment, since wealth and boons can shape future conflict.
Paraśurāma welcomes the Brahmin visitor and invites him to state his wish. In response, Bhāradvāja’s son Droṇa begins to speak—introducing his request to Paraśurāma, which will connect to Droṇa’s later role in the epic’s martial and political developments.
