Shloka 8
आपद्-राजनीतिः (Āpad-rājanīti) — Policy Options in Multi-Front Crisis
ततः संस्मृत्य तत् सर्व स्मारयिष्यन्निवाब्रवीत् । राजानं भगवान् विप्रस्तत: कृशतनुस्तदा
tataḥ saṁsmṛtya tat sarvaṁ smārayiṣyann ivābravīt | rājānaṁ bhagavān vipras tataḥ kṛśatanus tadā ||
于是，那位可敬的婆罗门圣仙——如今形体消瘦——追忆起一切往事，便对国王开口，仿佛要使他再度记起，从而为立足于法与正见的劝诫铺陈开端。
ऋषभ उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse frames ethical instruction as an act of remembrance: the sage recalls prior truths and deliberately prompts the king to recollect them, implying that dharma is often known but must be reawakened through wise counsel.
R̥ṣabha, described as venerable yet physically weakened, gathers his recollection of earlier points and begins addressing the king, speaking in a way meant to remind the ruler of what has already been discussed or understood.
