Vidura’s Tīrtha-yātrā Begins
कच्चित्सुखं सात्वतवृष्णिभोज- दाशार्हकाणामधिप: स आस्ते । यमभ्यषिञ्चच्छतपत्रनेत्रो नृपासनाशां परिहृत्य दूरात् ॥ २९ ॥
kaccit sukhaṁ sātvata-vṛṣṇi-bhoja- dāśārhakāṇām adhipaḥ sa āste yam abhyaṣiñcac chata-patra-netro nṛpāsanāśāṁ parihṛtya dūrāt
हे मित्र, क्या सात्वत, वृष्णि, भोज और दाशार्हों के अधिपति राजा उग्रसेन अब कुशल से हैं? जिन्होंने राजसिंहासन की आशा दूर कर दी थी, उन्हें कमल-नेत्र भगवान् श्रीकृष्ण ने फिर से अभिषिक्त कर स्थापित किया।
FAQs
Vidura asks about the chief of the Sātvata/Yadu clans—one whom Lord Kṛṣṇa personally installed as leader, highlighting a ruler connected with Kṛṣṇa and free from selfish ambition.
Because Vidura is inquiring about the welfare of Kṛṣṇa’s devotees and family after Kṛṣṇa’s departure from public affairs; his questions reflect affectionate concern for those sheltered by the Lord.
Leadership is meant for service, not ego; the verse teaches renouncing personal ambition and accepting responsibility only as an offering to God and the community.
