द्रोणपर्व (अध्याय ११२) — कर्णभीमयोर्युद्धम्, दुर्योधनस्य रक्षणादेशः
Droṇa-parva 112: Karṇa–Bhīma Engagement and Duryodhana’s Protective Order
कारणद्वयमेतद्धि जानंस्त्वामहमब्रुवम्
kāraṇadvayam etad dhi jānaṁs tvām aham abruvam
Knowing these two reasons, I spoke to you accordingly—my words were not uttered blindly, but with clear awareness of the grounds that compelled this counsel.
युधिष्ठिर उवाच
Educational Q&A
Speech and counsel should be grounded in known reasons and responsibility; Yudhiṣṭhira emphasizes that his statement was made with awareness of the motivating causes, not as careless or uninformed talk.
In the midst of the Drona Parva’s tense wartime exchanges, Yudhiṣṭhira addresses another person and justifies his earlier words by stating that he knew the two underlying reasons and therefore spoke deliberately.
