sanskrit

The brāhmaṇa father of Jaḍa Bharata considered his son his heart and soul, and therefore he was very much attached to him. He thought it wise to educate his son properly, and being absorbed in this unsuccessful endeavor, he tried to teach his son the rules and regulations of brahmacarya — including the execution of the Vedic vows, cleanliness, study of the Vedas, the regulative methods, service to the spiritual master and the method of offering a fire sacrifice. He tried his best to teach his son in this way, but all his endeavors failed. In his heart he hoped that his son would be a learned scholar, but all his attempts were unsuccessful. Like everyone, this brāhmaṇa was attached to his home, and he had forgotten that someday he would die. Death, however, was not forgetful. At the proper time, death appeared and took him away. ॥ 5-9-6 ॥

english translation

जड़ भरत का ब्राह्मण पिता अपने पुत्र को अपनी आत्मा तथा हृदय के समान मानता, अत: वह उससे अत्यधिक अनुरक्त था। उसने अपने पुत्र को सुशिक्षित बनाना चाहा और अपने इस असफल प्रयास में उसने अपने पुत्र को ब्रह्मचर्य के विधि-विधान सिखाने प्रारम्भ किये, जिनमें वैदिक अनुष्ठान, शौच, वेदाध्ययन, कर्मकाण्ड, गुरु की सेवा, अग्नि यज्ञ करने की विधि सम्मिलित थे। उसने इस प्रकार से अपने पुत्र को शिक्षा देने का भरसक प्रयत्न किया, किन्तु वह असफल रहा। उसने अपने अन्त:करण में यह आशा बाँध रखी थी कि उसका पुत्र विद्वान होगा, किन्तु उसके सारे प्रयत्न निष्फल रहे। प्रत्येक प्राणी की भाँति यह ब्राह्मण भी अपने घर के प्रति आसक्त था और वह यह भूल ही गया था कि एक दिन उसे मरना है। किन्तु मृत्यु कभी भूलती नहीं। वह उचित समय पर प्रकट हुई और उसे उठा ले गई। ॥ ५-९-६ ॥
