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 |
বায়ু ক’লে— “পুত্ৰ! তোমাৰ কাৰণেই যি বংশ ডুবি গৈছে, তাক তোমাকেই নিজে উদ্ধাৰ কৰিব লাগিব। ধৈৰ্য আৰু স্বাভিমানৰ আশ্ৰয় লোৱা; নিজৰ পুৰুষাৰ্থ চিনা, আৰু নিজৰ বলতেই এই পতিত কুলক ওপৰলৈ তোলা।”

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.
