Shloka 84
उद्योगपर्व — अध्याय 33: धृतराष्ट्र-विदुर संवादः (विदुरनीतिः)
राजा लक्षणसम्पन्नस्त्रैलोक्यस्यापि यो भवेत् | शिष्यस्ते शासिता सोडस्तु धृतराष्ट्र युधिष्ठिर:
rājā lakṣaṇasampannastrailokyasyāpi yo bhavet | śiṣyaste śāsitā soḍastu dhṛtarāṣṭra yudhiṣṭhiraḥ ||
قال فيدورا: «يا دْهريتاراشترا (Dhṛtarāṣṭra)، حتى لو كان الملكُ مكتملَ سماتِ المُلك، صالحًا لحكم العوالم الثلاثة، فلا بدّ له أن يقبل التأديب والانضباط. ويودهيشثيرا (Yudhiṣṭhira) تلميذك—مَن يمكن إرشاده وضبطه؛ فاكبح نفسك، واحكم بالمشورة لا بالتعلّق الأعمى».
विदुर उवाच
Educational Q&A
Even the most qualified ruler must submit to discipline and wise counsel; legitimate power is sustained by self-restraint and governance according to dharma, not by attachment or favoritism.
Vidura is advising Dhṛtarāṣṭra during the tense pre-war negotiations, urging him to control himself and to treat Yudhiṣṭhira as a governable, teachable figure—implying that reconciliation and righteous rule are still possible if Dhṛtarāṣṭra acts with restraint.
