Vidura Leaves Hastināpura and Meets Uddhava
Vidura’s Tīrtha-yātrā Begins
कच्चित्सुखं सात्वतवृष्णिभोज- दाशार्हकाणामधिप: स आस्ते । यमभ्यषिञ्चच्छतपत्रनेत्रो नृपासनाशां परिहृत्य दूरात् ॥ २९ ॥
kaccit sukhaṁ sātvata-vṛṣṇi-bhoja- dāśārhakāṇām adhipaḥ sa āste yam abhyaṣiñcac chata-patra-netro nṛpāsanāśāṁ parihṛtya dūrāt
Mein Freund, geht es Ugrasena, dem König der Sātvatas, Vṛṣṇis, Bhojas und Dāśārhas, jetzt gut? Obwohl er jede Hoffnung auf den Thron weit von sich gewiesen hatte, setzte ihn der lotusäugige Bhagavān Śrī Kṛṣṇa durch königliche Salbung erneut ein.
Vidura asks about the chief of the Sātvata/Yadu clans—one whom Lord Kṛṣṇa personally installed as leader, highlighting a ruler connected with Kṛṣṇa and free from selfish ambition.
Because Vidura is inquiring about the welfare of Kṛṣṇa’s devotees and family after Kṛṣṇa’s departure from public affairs; his questions reflect affectionate concern for those sheltered by the Lord.
Leadership is meant for service, not ego; the verse teaches renouncing personal ambition and accepting responsibility only as an offering to God and the community.
