उत्तङ्कोपाख्यानप्रारम्भः — Uttanka’s Tapas, Viṣṇu-stuti, and the Dhundhumāra Prophecy
Opening
कर्मणा मनसा वाचा सर्वमेतत् समाचर । मेरे इस वचनमें संदेह करनेपर तुम्हारे धर्मका लोप होगा। भरतकुलभूषण। तुम कौरवोंके प्रख्यात कुलमें उत्पन्न हुए हो; अतः मन, वाणी और क्रियाद्वारा इन सब बातोंका पालन करो
karmāṇā manasā vācā sarvam etat samācara | mama etad vacane saṁdehaṁ kṛtvā tava dharmasya lopo bhaviṣyati | bharatakula-bhūṣaṇa | tvaṁ kauravāṇāṁ prakhyāte kule jātaḥ; ataḥ manaḥ-vāk-kriyābhiḥ etāḥ sarvāḥ kathāḥ pālaya ||
毗湿摩耶那说道：“当以行为、以心念、以言语，奉行这一切。若你对我之言起疑，你的法（dharma）便将衰减。噢，婆罗多族之荣饰，你生于声名显赫的俱卢族（考罗婆）门第；故当以心、以言、以行，守持诸般训诫。”
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
Dharma must be upheld integrally—through thought, speech, and action. Doubting sound instruction and failing to embody it consistently leads to the weakening of one’s righteous path.
The narrator Vaiśampāyana delivers a direct admonition to a Kaurava-descended listener, urging faithful observance of the given counsel and warning that skepticism toward the guidance will result in a decline of dharma.
