बुद्ध्वा च स महातेजा न चचालैव जाजलिः । धर्मे धृतमना नित्यं नाधर्मं स त्वरोचयत् ॥
buddhvā ca sa mahātejā na cacālaiva jājaliḥ | dharme dhṛtamanā nityaṃ nādharmaṃ sa tvarocayat ||
Knowing it, the radiant Jajali did not move at all. His mind always held to dharma; he had no taste for what is not right.
यह जानकर भी वह महातेजस्वी जाजलि बिल्कुल नहीं हिला। उसका मन सदा धर्म में स्थिर था; अधर्म उसे नहीं भाता था।
Meaning today and contextआज के लिए अर्थ और संदर्भ
Jajali's patience with the birds was real kindness. The story does not mock his goodness; it later shows how pride grew out of it.
पक्षियों के प्रति जाजलि का धैर्य सच्ची दया थी। कथा उसकी भलाई का उपहास नहीं करती; आगे दिखाती है कि उसी से अहंकार कैसे उपजा।
Mahabharata 12.253.25. Bhishma: knowing the eggs were there, Jajali stayed still, his mind set on dharma.
