उद्योगपर्व (अध्याय १२९) — केशवस्य वैभवप्रदर्शनम् / Krishna’s Theophanic Display in the Kuru Assembly
इति श्रीमहाभारते उद्योगपर्वणि भगवद्यानपर्वणि विदुरवाक्ये त्रिंशयवधिकशततमो<ध्याय:
iti śrīmahābhārate udyogaparvaṇi bhagavadyānaparvaṇi viduravākye triṃśayavadhikaśatatamo 'dhyāyaḥ
So endet im Śrī Mahābhārata, im Udyoga Parva—insbesondere im Abschnitt über die diplomatische Sendung des Herrn—das hundertdreißigste Kapitel, bekannt als „Viduras Rede“. Dieses abschließende Kolophon rahmt Viduras Mahnung als moralische und politische Warnung in einer entscheidenden Stunde, da rechtschaffener Rat dargeboten wird, um Unheil abzuwenden und das Dharma zu wahren, ehe der Krieg unvermeidlich wird.
विदुर उवाच
Educational Q&A
As a colophon, the verse does not add new instruction but signals that Vidura’s counsel has concluded. Its ethical force lies in framing the preceding discourse as authoritative guidance offered to preserve dharma through wise policy and restraint before conflict escalates.
The text marks the end of a chapter in the Udyoga Parva, within the Bhagavad-yāna section, identifying it as ‘Vidura’s Speech.’ This situates Vidura’s admonitions within the broader lead-up to the Kurukṣetra war, amid attempts at negotiation and prevention of war.
