सम्पातिवाक्यम्
Sampāti’s Counsel and the Revelation of Laṅkā
अस्माकं विहिता वृत्तिर्निसर्गेण च दूरतः।विहिता पादमूले तु वृत्तिश्चरणयोधिनाम्।।4.58.32।।
asmākaṁ vihitā vṛttir nisargeṇa ca dūrataḥ |
vihitā pāda-mūle tu vṛttiś caraṇa-yodhinām ||
按照天性,我们的活动范围注定遥远。但对于那些徒步战斗的生灵,其范围仅限于双脚所能到达之处。
'Our movement and vision naturally extends to distant places. For those fighting on foot, the movement is restricted to the extent of foot movement.
Svadharma: different beings have different ordained capacities; Dharma is to recognize limits and coordinate roles wisely in pursuit of righteousness.
Sampāti contrasts aerial range with ground-bound movement to explain why he can perceive distant events and guide the mission.
Practical wisdom—understanding capability and constraint, and using that knowledge to help others act effectively.
