अम्बा–राम–भीष्म संवादः
Amba–Rama–Bhishma Dialogue on Vow and Refuge
अभ्यगच्छत् ततो राम: सह तैब्रह्म॒वादिभि: । कुरुक्षेत्र महाराज कन््यया सह भारत
abhyagacchat tato rāmaḥ saha taiḥ brahmavādibhiḥ | kurukṣetra mahārāja kanyayā saha bhārata ||
于是罗摩启程，在那些通晓吠陀、宣说梵义的婆罗门智者（Brahmavādin）陪同之下前行。噢，大王，噢，婆罗多后裔！他与那位少女一同前往俱卢之野（Kurukṣetra）——此段情节由劝诫与谋议所框定，承载祭仪权威，并在贤者面前作出抉择，显出其沉重的法义分量。
राम उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse underscores that significant journeys and decisions are ideally undertaken in the company of the learned and ethically grounded (brahmavādins), and that Kurukṣetra functions not merely as a location but as a dharmic arena where actions gain heightened moral and ritual significance.
Rama sets out and proceeds to Kurukṣetra, accompanied by Brahmavādins and together with a maiden. The narrator addresses the king (mahārāja) and ‘Bhārata,’ marking a transition in the story as the group moves toward the sacred region.
