Aṃśāvataraṇa-kathana (Catalog of Divine/Asuric Portions in Human Births) — Chapter 61
ते उक्ता धृतराष्ट्रेण राज्ञा शान्तनवेन च । भ्रातृभिविंग्रहस्तात कथं वो न भवेदिति
te uktā dhṛtarāṣṭreṇa rājñā śāntanavena ca | bhrātṛbhir vigrahas tāta kathaṃ vo na bhaved iti ||
قال فايشَمبايانا: وهكذا خاطبهم الملك دْهريتاراشترا ابن شانتانو: «يا أحبّتي، إذا وقع النزاع بين الإخوة، فكيف لا يقع لكم أنتم أيضًا؟»
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
Even among close kin, especially brothers, conflict can naturally arise; therefore one must consciously uphold dharma—self-restraint, fairness, and wise counsel—to prevent rivalry from escalating.
Vaiśampāyana reports Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s words as he addresses others, remarking that disputes among brothers are common and asking how such contention would not occur among them as well.
