अम्बा–राम–भीष्म संवादः
Amba–Rama–Bhishma Dialogue on Vow and Refuge
पाण्ड्रैश्वापि व्यजनैर्वीज्यमानो नराधिप । शुक्लवासा: सितोष्णीष: सर्वशुक्लविभूषण:,नरेश्वर! उस समय मेरे मस्तकपर श्वेत छत्र तना हुआ था और मेरे दोनों ओर सफेद रंगके चँवर डुलाये जाते थे। मेरे वस्त्र, मेरी पगड़ी और मेरे समस्त आभूषण श्वेतवर्णके ही थे
pāṇḍraiś cāpi vyajanaīr vījyamāno narādhipa | śuklavāsāḥ sitoṣṇīṣaḥ sarvaśuklavibhūṣaṇaḥ ||
大王啊，我两侧皆以白色牦尾拂尘为我扇拂；我身着白衣，头戴白巾，佩饰亦尽为白色。于是，在圆满的王者威仪之中，我伫立其间，显现出主权与荣誉的种种标志。
भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse highlights how external insignia—white garments, turban, ornaments, and ceremonial fanning—signal recognized status and honor in a royal setting; it implicitly contrasts outward splendor with the inner responsibility of dharma that such honor demands.
Bhīṣma describes a scene of formal royal ceremony: he is attended with white chowries and appears entirely in white attire and adornment, emphasizing the dignity and public recognition surrounding him at that moment.
