Shloka 12
Purohita-Niyoga and the Brahma–Kṣatra Concord
Aila–Kaśyapa Saṃvāda
उभावेतौ नित्यमभिप्रपन्नौ सम्प्रापतुर्महतीं सम्प्रतिष्ठाम् । तयो: संधिभिद्यते चेत् पुराण- सतत: सर्व भवति हि सम्प्रमूढम्
ubhāv etau nityam abhiprapannau samprāptur mahatīṃ sampratiṣṭhām | tayoḥ sandhir bhidyate cet purāṇaḥ satataḥ sarvaṃ bhavati hi sampramūḍham ||
迦叶波说道：“当这两大群体恒常相互依存——彼此归依、互为庇护——便能获得崇高的地位与稳固的安定。可若自远古以来延续的友好纽带一旦断裂，则整个世界将长久迷乱，陷入不知所措的纷扰之中。”
कश्यप उवाच
Educational Q&A
Mutual dependence and sustained concord between two groups creates stability and honor; breaking an old alliance (sandhi) destabilizes society and produces widespread moral and practical confusion.
Kāśyapa delivers a counsel on social and political ethics: he highlights how two allied parties prosper through continued mutual support, and warns that rupturing their traditional friendship leads to disorder and collective bewilderment.
