Shloka 13
अर्जुनस्य युधिष्ठिरं प्रति क्षात्रधर्मोपदेशः | Arjuna’s Counsel to Yudhiṣṭhira on Kṣatra-Dharma
स त्वं यज्ञैमहाराज यजस्व बहुदक्षिणै: । यथैवेन्द्रो मनुष्येन्द्र चिराय विगतज्वर:
sa tvaṁ yajñai mahārāja yajasva bahudakṣiṇaiḥ | yathaivendro manuṣyendra cirāya vigatajvaraḥ ||
毗湿摩波耶那说道：“因此，大王啊，当行诸祭，广施达克希那（祭礼之赠赐）于司祭者。人中王啊，如因陀罗一般，久长无有心热之疾——无忧无悲——并以此等正法之仪维系你的王权。”
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
A king should stabilize his reign and inner life through dharmic action—especially yajña supported by generous dakṣiṇā—so that public order and personal peace replace the ‘fever’ of grief and anxiety.
Vaiśampāyana addresses the king with counsel: undertake many sacrifices with ample gifts, and, like Indra, remain long free from mental turmoil—an exhortation toward restoration and righteous governance in the Śānti context.
