भीष्म–जामदग्न्यसंवादः (Amba-prasaṅga and Kurukṣetra Dvandva Declaration) / Bhishma–Jamadagnya Dialogue
गरुद्धिजातिर्धर्मात्मा यदेवं पीडित: शरै: । राजन! उस समय शोकके वेगसे व्याकुल हो मैं बार-बार इस प्रकार कहने लगा --'अहो! मुझ क्षत्रियने यह बड़ा भारी पाप कर डाला
garuḍdhijātir dharmātmā yadevaṁ pīḍitaḥ śaraiḥ | rājan! tadā śokavegena vyākulo'haṁ punaḥ punaḥ evam uktavān— “aho! mayā kṣatriyeṇa mahāpāpaṁ kṛtam, yat dharmātmānaṁ brāhmaṇa-guruṁ caiva evaṁ śaraiḥ pīḍitam” |
罗摩说道：“当那位正法之人——出自迦楼罗一脉——如此被箭矢折磨时，噢，大王，我被悲恸的洪流所淹没，反复说道：‘唉！我虽为刹帝利，却造下重罪，竟以箭矢这般伤害一位持法的婆罗门，而他又是我的师长！’”

Educational Q&A
Even in a kṣatriya context where weapons are used, harming a righteous brāhmaṇa teacher is presented as a grave ethical transgression; the verse foregrounds remorse and the primacy of dharma and reverence to the guru over martial impulse.
Rāma addresses a king and recalls a moment when a righteous figure (described as of Garuḍa’s lineage) was struck and pained by arrows; seized by grief, Rāma repeatedly laments that he has committed a great sin by wounding his brāhmaṇa preceptor.
