Udyoga-parva Adhyāya 130: Kuntī’s Instruction on Rājadharma and Daṇḍanīti
तब महाबाहु जनार्दनने धृतराष्ट्रसे कहा--“कुरुनन्दन! आपको दो अदृश्य नेत्र प्राप्त हो जाया ।। तत्राद्भुतं महाराज धृतराष्ट्रश्न चक्षुषी । लब्धवान् वासुदेवाच्च विश्वरूपदिदृक्षया,महाराज जनमेजय! वहाँ 88 बात हुई कि धुृतराष्ट्रने भी भगवान् श्रीकृष्णसे उनके विश्वरूपका दर्शन करनेकी दो नेत्र प्राप्त कर लिये
tatrādbhutaṃ mahārāja dhṛtarāṣṭrasya cakṣuṣī | labdhavān vāsudevāc ca viśvarūpa-didṛkṣayā ||
Allí, oh rey, ocurrió algo prodigioso: Dhṛtarāṣṭra obtuvo de Vāsudeva dos ojos sobrenaturales, movido por el deseo de contemplar la forma universal del Señor.
धृतराष्ट उवाच
Educational Q&A
Extraordinary perception (divine vision) is portrayed as a gift of grace enabling insight into a higher reality (viśvarūpa). The ethical implication is that receiving greater vision should lead to greater responsibility and right judgment, not merely amazement.
In the course of the Udyoga Parva narration, it is stated that Dhṛtarāṣṭra receives two supernatural eyes from Vāsudeva so that he may behold the Lord’s universal form (viśvarūpa).
