Adhyaya 32: Saṃjaya’s Return, Audience with Dhṛtarāṣṭra, and Ethical Admonition
त्रयो न््याया मनुष्याणां श्रूयन्ते भरतर्षभ । कनीयान् मध्यम: श्रेष्ठ इति वेदविदो विदु:ः
trayo nyāyā manuṣyāṇāṃ śrūyante bharatarṣabha | kanīyān madhyamaḥ śreṣṭha iti vedavido viduḥ ||
قال فيدورا: «يا ثورَ آلِ بهاراتا، إن المأثور يذكر ثلاث “طرائق” ينجز بها الناس مقاصدهم: الدونى، والوسطى، والفضلى. وأهلُ معرفةِ الفيدا يقرّون هذا التقسيم الثلاثي.»

Educational Q&A
Vidura introduces a moral-ethical framework: human action and goal-achievement can be pursued through three graded ‘ways’—inferior, middling, and best—implying that one should choose the highest, most dharmic means rather than merely effective ones.
In Udyoga Parva, Vidura is counseling the Kuru elder (addressed as ‘Bharatarṣabha’) during the tense pre-war negotiations. He begins by laying out a structured typology of approaches to success, preparing to recommend the superior course aligned with dharma.
