Duḥṣantasya Vana-praveśaḥ
King Duḥṣanta’s Entry into the Forest Hunt
भरद्वाजस्य च स्कन्न॑ द्रोण्यां शुक्रमवर्धत । महर्षेरुग्रतपसस्तस्माद् द्रोणो व्यजायत,एक समय उग्रतपस्वी महर्षि भरद्वाजका वीर्य किसी द्रोणी (पर्वतकी गुफा)-में स्खलित होकर धीरे-धीरे पुष्ट होने लगा। उसीसे द्रोणका जन्म हुआ
Bharadvājasya ca skannaṃ droṇyāṃ śukram avardhata | maharṣer ugratapasaḥ tasmād droṇo vyajāyata ||
达沙说道:大圣者婆罗堕阇——苦行严峻、精进炽烈——其精种坠入一处“多罗尼”(如槽如盂的器皿或凹穴)之中,在那里渐渐滋长成熟。正由此种子,德罗纳诞生。此事彰显《摩诃婆罗多》反复出现的主题:非凡的降生可由苦行之力与非常之境而起,并预示德罗纳在未来道义与兵戈的纠葛中所注定的角色。
दाश उवाच
The verse highlights the potency of tapas (ascetic discipline) and the Mahābhārata motif that remarkable destinies may arise through unconventional births; moral and historical consequences can flow from the spiritual power and actions of sages.
Daśa narrates Droṇa’s origin: Bharadvāja’s generative seed falls into a droṇī, develops there, and from it Droṇa is born—explaining Droṇa’s name and setting up his later significance in the epic’s martial narrative.
