Kṣānti–Tejas Viveka: Prahlāda’s Instruction to Bali
Draupadī’s Application
मन्योहिं विजयं कृष्णे प्रशंसन््तीह साधव: । क्षमावतो जयो नित्यं साधोरिह सतां मतम्,कृष्णे! साधु पुरुष क्रोधको जीतनेकी ही प्रशंसा करते हैं। संतोंका यह मत है कि इस जगत्में क्षमाशील साधु पुरुषकी सदा जय होती है
manyohi vijayaṃ krodhe praśaṃsantīha sādhavaḥ | kṣamāvato jayo nityaṃ sādhoriha satāṃ matam, kṛṣṇe ||
قال يودهيشثيرا: «هنا يثني الأخيار على الظفر بالغضب. يا كريشنا، إن الرأي المستقرّ عند أهل الفضيلة أن الرجل الصالح حقًّا، الصبور الحليم، هو في هذا العالم دائمًا المنتصر الحقيقي».

Educational Q&A
True victory is not merely defeating others but conquering one’s own anger; the virtuous regard patience and forgiveness (kṣamā) as the mark of lasting triumph.
Yudhiṣṭhira addresses Kṛṣṇa and articulates a moral principle valued by the sādhus: that the patient, righteous person is considered the constant victor in worldly life because self-mastery preserves dharma and prevents destructive action.
