Strī Parva, Adhyāya 2 — Vidura’s Consolation on Kāla, Karma, and the Limits of Lamentation (विदुरोपदेशः)
अन्यामन्यां धनावस्थां प्राप्प वैशेषिकीं नरा:
anyām anyāṁ dhanāvasthāṁ prāpya vaiśeṣikīṁ narāḥ
मनुष्य भिन्न-भिन्न धन-स्थितियाँ पाकर, प्रत्येक अपनी-अपनी विशेष दशा को प्राप्त होता है।
विदुर उवाच
Educational Q&A
Worldly prosperity is variable and individualized; therefore one should not base one’s moral judgment, pride, or grief solely on wealth and external fortune, but seek steadiness through dharma and discernment.
Vidura is speaking in a consolatory and instructive mode, reflecting on how people experience different fortunes; the line supports a broader counsel to respond to calamity and success with ethical steadiness rather than attachment to changing circumstances.
