On Gratitude and Friendship Ethics
अमूर्तरयसस्तस्मात्ततो भूमिशयो नृपः । भरतश्नापि दौष्यन्तिलेंभे भूमिशयादसिम्,पूरुसे अमूर्तरया, अमूर्तरयासे राजा भूमिशयने और भूमिशयसे दुष्यन्तकुमार भरतने उस खड्ग को ग्रहण किया
amūrtarayasas tasmāt tato bhūmiśayo nṛpaḥ | bharataś cāpi dauṣyantir lebhe bhūmiśayād asim ||
毗湿摩说：因此，阿穆尔塔拉耶斯（Amūrtarayas）之后，国王布弥舍耶（Bhūmiśaya）得此剑；而杜沙延陀（Duṣyanta）之子婆罗多（Bharata）亦从布弥舍耶受得此剑。此偈追述王者兵器在合法血统中的正当传递，意在说明：主权与治国之器当依循法（dharma）而承继、受托，而非凭蛮力攫取。

Educational Q&A
The verse underscores dharmic succession: symbols and instruments of rulership (like a sword) are to be passed along an authorized lineage, reinforcing that political power should rest on rightful inheritance and ethical continuity, not on arbitrary violence.
Bhīṣma recounts a genealogical transfer: the sword passes from Amūrtarayas to King Bhūmiśaya, and then from Bhūmiśaya to Bharata (Duṣyanta’s son), situating Bharata within a sanctioned royal tradition.
