आपद्धर्मे कोशबलन्यायः | Treasury, Force, and Crisis-Ethics for the King
स्मरन् पुत्रमरण्ये वै नष्टं परमदुर्मना: । भूरिद्युम्नपिता श्रीमान् वीरद्युम्नो महायशा:
smaran putram araṇye vai naṣṭaṃ paramadurmanāḥ | bhūridyumnapitā śrīmān vīradyumno mahāyaśāḥ ||
毗湿摩说道:他忆及那在林中失散的儿子,便极度沮丧,愁苦至深。那位光辉而声名显赫的人,正是毗罗提优摩那(Vīradyumna)——菩利提优摩那(Bhūridyumna)之父,因与子离别而悲恸不已。
भीष्म उवाच
The verse foregrounds the human reality of sorrow arising from attachment and separation, using a parental example to evoke compassion and to prepare for reflection on steadiness of mind and dharma amid suffering.
Bhīṣma introduces (or continues) an illustrative episode: Vīradyumna’s son Bhūridyumna has gone missing in the forest, and the father, remembering him, is overwhelmed with grief.
