Adhyaya 32: Saṃjaya’s Return, Audience with Dhṛtarāṣṭra, and Ethical Admonition
देवतानां च संकल्पमनुभावं च धीमताम् । विनयं कृतविद्यानां विनाशं पापकर्मणाम्,देवताओंका संकल्प, बुद्धिमानोंका प्रभाव, विद्वानों-की नम्रनता और पापियोंका विनाश
devatānāṁ ca saṅkalpam anubhāvaṁ ca dhīmatām | vinayaṁ kṛtavidyānāṁ vināśaṁ pāpakarmaṇām ||
Vidura spricht von der sittlichen Ordnung, die in der Welt sichtbar ist: „der unfehlbare Entschluss der Götter, der wirksame Einfluss der Weisen, die Demut der wahrhaft Gebildeten und der unvermeidliche Untergang derer, die in Sünde handeln.“

Educational Q&A
Dharma manifests through recognizable signs: divine resolve supports order, wise counsel has real efficacy, true learning produces humility, and sinful conduct leads to inevitable ruin.
In Vidura’s counsel during the Udyoga Parva, he summarizes observable principles of righteous governance and conduct, contrasting the traits of the wise and learned with the fate of wrongdoers.
