Parāśara’s Counsel on बुद्धि (Discernment), Karma-Consequences, and Avoidance of Pāpānubandha Actions
ततो बृहस्पतिर्धीमानुपागम्य शतक्रतुम् । वसिष्ठ श्ष महातेजा: सर्वे च परमर्षय:
tato bṛhaspatir dhīmān upāgamya śatakratum | vasiṣṭhaś ca mahātejāḥ sarve ca paramarṣayaḥ ||
毗湿摩说道:其后,智者布里哈斯帕提前往拜见沙塔克拉图(因陀罗)。光辉炽盛的婆悉吒与一切最上仙圣亦随行而至。他们心念专一,向因陀罗进言,敦促他诛杀弗栗陀罗阿修罗(Vṛtrāsura)——以此为护持诸界、复归宇宙秩序之必行大事。
भीष्म उवाच
That rulers (and those empowered to act) should accept disciplined counsel from the wise and undertake even difficult, forceful duties when they are required to protect the world and re-establish order—action guided by dharma rather than personal impulse.
Bṛhaspati, together with Vasiṣṭha and other great sages, goes to Indra and, with focused intent, urges him to kill Vṛtrāsura—setting up the moral and strategic justification for Indra’s decisive action.
