उद्योगपर्व (अध्याय १२९) — केशवस्य वैभवप्रदर्शनम् / Krishna’s Theophanic Display in the Kuru Assembly
इति श्रीमहाभारते उद्योगपर्वणि भगवद्यानपर्वणि विदुरवाक्ये त्रिंशयवधिकशततमो<ध्याय:
iti śrīmahābhārate udyogaparvaṇi bhagavadyānaparvaṇi viduravākye triṃśayavadhikaśatatamo 'dhyāyaḥ
Ainsi, dans le Śrī Mahābhārata, au sein de l’Udyoga Parva—et plus précisément dans la section consacrée à la mission diplomatique du Seigneur—s’achève le cent-trentième chapitre, intitulé « Le discours de Vidura ». Ce colophon de clôture présente l’avertissement de Vidura comme une mise en garde à la fois morale et politique à l’heure décisive, lorsque le conseil juste est offert pour détourner la catastrophe et maintenir le dharma avant que la guerre ne devienne inévitable.
विदुर उवाच
Educational Q&A
As a colophon, the verse does not add new instruction but signals that Vidura’s counsel has concluded. Its ethical force lies in framing the preceding discourse as authoritative guidance offered to preserve dharma through wise policy and restraint before conflict escalates.
The text marks the end of a chapter in the Udyoga Parva, within the Bhagavad-yāna section, identifying it as ‘Vidura’s Speech.’ This situates Vidura’s admonitions within the broader lead-up to the Kurukṣetra war, amid attempts at negotiation and prevention of war.
