Shloka 136
धृतराष्ट्रस्य पाण्डवेषु प्रीति-वृत्तान्तः | Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s Affectionate Disposition toward the Pāṇḍavas
श्वेताश्वो वाथ कुन्ती वा द्रौपदी वा यशस्विनी । कुन्तीपुत्र राजा युधिष्ठिरो इस बातकी जानकारी नहीं थी। अर्जुन, कुन्ती तथा यशस्विनी द्रौपदीको भी इसका पता नहीं था
śvetāśvo vātha kuntī vā draupadī vā yaśasvinī | kuntīputro rājā yudhiṣṭhiro 'sya vṛttāntasya na jānāti sma | arjuno 'pi kuntī ca yaśasvinī draupadī ca tasya na viduḥ ||
Vaiśampāyana dit : Ni Śvetāśva, ni Kuntī, ni l’illustre Draupadī n’en avaient connaissance. Le roi Yudhiṣṭhira, fils de Kuntī, n’était pas informé de cette affaire ; Arjuna aussi, ainsi que Kuntī et la célèbre Draupadī, l’ignoraient.
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse highlights that even exemplary figures may lack knowledge of important events; ethical judgment (dharma) often must be exercised amid uncertainty, without full information.
The narrator states that Yudhiṣṭhira, Arjuna, Kuntī, and Draupadī (and Śvetāśva) were unaware of a particular development, marking a narrative point where concealed or unknown events are about to be revealed or have consequences.
