अध्याय ९ — धृतराष्ट्रस्य युधिष्ठिरं प्रति राजनित्युपदेशः
Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s Counsel on Royal Policy to Yudhiṣṭhira
ततः संधाय ते सर्वे वाक्यान्यथ समासत: । एकस्मिन् ब्राह्मणे राजन् निवेश्योचुर्नराधिपम्
tataḥ sandhāya te sarve vākyāny atha samāsataḥ | ekasmin brāhmaṇe rājan niveśyocur narādhipam ||
毗舍波耶那说道:于是众人商议既定,将言辞加以简约;大王啊,他们把发言之责托付给一位婆罗门,并由他代为向“人中之主”(国王)陈述。此景彰显了进谏的审慎与秩序——将言语交付合格的代言者,使信息得以克制而得体地传达。
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Collective counsel should be conveyed with discipline: after deliberation, speech is summarized and entrusted to a competent, respected spokesman, reflecting restraint (saṃyama) and propriety in addressing authority.
A group consults among themselves, compresses their message, and appoints one brāhmaṇa to speak on their behalf to the king, ensuring an orderly and authoritative presentation.
