अध्याय ६ — युधिष्ठिरस्य वैराग्य-वाक्यं धृतराष्ट्रस्य वनगमनाभिलाषश्च
Chapter 6: Yudhiṣṭhira’s Renunciatory Appeal and Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s Resolve for the Forest
अशबनुवंश्न युद्धाय निष्पतेत् सह मन्त्रिभि:
aśvanūvaṁśna yuddhāya niṣpatet saha mantribhiḥ
«Que Aśvanūvaṁśna salga a la batalla, acompañado de sus ministros». La orden presenta la guerra como una acción organizada y sostenida por el consejo, no como un arrebato solitario; implica responsabilidad, deliberación y rendición de cuentas en el uso de la fuerza.
धघतयाट्र उवाच
Educational Q&A
Even when war is commanded, it should proceed with counsel and collective responsibility—action is to be guided by advisers (mantrin), not by isolated passion.
A leader (the named speaker) orders Aśvanūvaṁśna to go out to battle, explicitly instructing that he be accompanied by ministers, indicating a formal, state-directed mobilization.
