अध्याय ५६ — च्यवन–कुशिकसंवादः
Cyavana–Kuśika Dialogue on Lineage, Conflict, and Transmission
इत्येवमुक्त: कुशिक: प्रह्ृष्टेनान्तरात्मना | प्रोवाच मुनिशार्दूलमिदं वचनमर्थवत्
ity evam uktaḥ kuśikaḥ prahṛṣṭenāntarātmanā | provāca muniśārdūlam idaṁ vacanam arthavat |
毗湿摩说道：如此被告诫后，俱悉迦王内心欢喜踊跃，便以意味深长之言对那位“诸仙之虎”的大牟尼说道：“尊者，福德无量者！您已净化了我们。我们心中丝毫不存忧愁与嗔怒。我们二人都重得青春之盛，形体俊美而强健。”
भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse highlights ethical purification through contact with a true sage: when one is rightly instructed, inner afflictions like grief and anger subside, and gratitude replaces resentment. The emphasis is on inner transformation (antarātman) as the mark of genuine purification.
After being spoken to by an eminent rishi, King Kuśika becomes inwardly delighted and responds respectfully. He declares that the sage has purified them, that they feel no sorrow or anger, and that they have regained youthful vigor and bodily strength—signs of a boon or restorative blessing.
