Udyoga Parva Adhyāya 132 — Vidura’s Counsel on Udyama, Yaśas, and Kṣātra-Dharma
उद्धावय कुल मग्नं त्वत्कृते स्वयमेव हि । बेटा! तू धैर्य और स्वाभिमानका अवलम्बन कर। अपने पुरुषार्थकों जान और तेरे कारण डूबे हुए इस वंशका तू स्वयं ही उद्धार कर
uddhāvaya kula-magnaṁ tvat-kṛte svayam eva hi |
قال فايُو: «انهض بسلالتك التي غرقت بسببك—بل أنت نفسك لا بد أن تفعل ذلك. اعتصم بالشجاعة وبعزّة النفس؛ واعرف جهدك ورجولتك، وبقوتك أنت فافدِ هذه الأسرة التي سقطت على حسابك.»

Educational Q&A
One must accept responsibility for the consequences of one’s actions and actively work to restore what has been harmed—through courage, self-respect, and personal effort rather than dependence on others.
Vāyu addresses a son-like figure, urging him to redeem a lineage that has fallen into distress due to his role in events, and to undertake the rescue himself with steadfast courage and honor.
