एकचक्रानिवासे ब्राह्मणगृहदुःखश्रवणम् | Hearing the Brāhmaṇa Household’s Distress at Ekacakrā
अनुशिक्ष्यानुगम्यैतान् कृत्वा चैव प्रदक्षिणम् । पाण्डवानभ्यनुज्ञाय विदुर: प्रययौ गृहान्,इस तरह पाण्डवोंको बारंबार कर्तव्यकी शिक्षा देते हुए कुछ दूरतक उनके पीछे-पीछे जाकर विदुरजी उनको जानेकी आज्ञा दे उन्हें अपने दाहिने करके पुनः अपने घरको लौट गये
anuśikṣyānugamyaitān kṛtvā caiva pradakṣiṇam | pāṇḍavān abhyanujñāya viduraḥ prayayau gṛhān ||
Vaiśampāyana sprach: Nachdem Vidura sie wiederholt in ihren Pflichten unterwiesen und die Pāṇḍavas ein Stück begleitet hatte, nahm er Abschied. Dann umschritt er sie ehrerbietig (sie zu seiner Rechten haltend) und kehrte in sein Haus zurück.
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse highlights dhārmic mentorship and respectful conduct: Vidura repeatedly instructs the Pāṇḍavas about their duties, and his leave-taking—seeking permission and performing pradakṣiṇā—models humility, reverence, and proper social-ethical etiquette.
Vidura accompanies the Pāṇḍavas for a short distance after advising them, then formally takes their leave. He honors them through pradakṣiṇā (circumambulation with them on his right) and returns to his home.
