Vivāha-dharma: Kanyā-pradāna, Śulka, and Pāṇigrahaṇa-niṣṭhā (अनुशासन पर्व, अध्याय ४४)

विश्रान्ताय ततस्तस्मै सहासीनाय भार्यया । निवेदयामास तदा विपुल: शक्रकर्म तत्‌,जब गुरुजी विश्राम करके अपनी पत्नीके साथ बैठे, तब विपुलने इन्द्रकी वह सारी करतूत उन्हें बतायी

viśrāntāya tatastasmai sahāsīnāya bhāryayā | nivedayāmāsa tadā vipulaḥ śakrakarma tat ||

毗湿摩说道:师长歇息之后,与妻子同坐之时,毗补罗便将此事尽数禀告——因陀罗的全部诡计。此段昭示护持达摩须常怀警觉:诱惑与欺诳,纵出自权势者亦可能发生;正直之人当直陈其非,使道德秩序得以凭明断而复归。

Educational Q&A

Dharma is safeguarded by vigilance, self-restraint, and truthful disclosure: when wrongdoing or temptation occurs—even from a mighty figure like Indra—it should be reported clearly so that the household and moral order are protected.

After the guru has rested and sits with his wife, Vipula approaches and narrates to him the full account of Indra’s actions—i.e., the attempted deception/stratagem—so the teacher understands what occurred.
