तदा विद्यान्मनोग्लानिमाशु शान्तिकरो भवेत् | “अपनी और अपने मित्रकी यदि इसके विपरीत परिस्थिति हो तो मन-ही-मन ग्लानिका अनुभव करना चाहिये और मित्रोंकी उस हानिके निवारणके लिये शीघ्र प्रयत्नशील होना चाहिये

Sañjaya dijo: «En tal momento, uno debe reconocer de inmediato el peso que oprime la mente y, sin demora, volverse artífice de paz, esforzándose con prontitud por evitar el daño que ha surgido, ya sea para uno mismo o para los amigos».

Educational Q&A
When adversity strikes oneself or one’s allies, one should not remain indifferent; one must perceive the mind’s distress as a moral signal and act swiftly to restore peace and prevent further loss.
In Sañjaya’s report within the Shalya Parva context, a general ethical instruction is voiced: timely awareness of inner grief should lead to immediate, practical efforts to pacify conflict and protect friends from harm.
