Bhīmasya paruṣa-vākyaṃ
Bhīma’s Harsh Speech Heard by Dhṛtarāṣṭra and Gāndhārī
भगवानेव नो मान्यो भगवानेव नो गुरु: । भगवानस्य राज्यस्य कुलस्य च परायणम्,“भगवन्! आप ही हमलोगोंके माननीय और आप ही हमारे गुरु हैं। इस राज्य और पुरके परम आधार भी आप ही हैं
bhagavān eva no mānyo bhagavān eva no guruḥ | bhagavānasya rājyasya kulasya ca parāyaṇam ||
“唯有尊者为我等所敬；唯有尊者为我等之师。尊者乃此国与我族之至上归依与支撑根基。”

The verse emphasizes dharmic hierarchy and gratitude: a community’s stability rests on honoring the rightful guide—one who is both guru (moral instructor) and parāyaṇa (ultimate support) for kingdom and lineage.
In Vaiśaṃpāyana’s narration, speakers express collective allegiance and dependence, declaring the addressed elder/leader as their revered authority and the sustaining refuge of both the state and the dynasty.
