Shloka 6
न वैराण्यभिजानन्ति गुणान् पश्यन्ति नागुणान् । विरोधं नाधिगच्छन्ति ये त उत्तमपूरुषा:
yudhiṣṭhira uvāca | na vairāṇy abhijānanti guṇān paśyanti nāguṇān | virodhaṁ nādhigacchanti ye te uttama-pūruṣāḥ ||
Mereka yang tidak menghitung-hitung permusuhan, yang memandang kebajikan dan bukan cela, serta tidak masuk ke dalam pertentangan—merekalah yang disebut manusia unggul.
युधिछिर उवाच
Educational Q&A
Nobility is shown by refusing to nurture grudges: a truly excellent person remembers others’ virtues and benefactions, overlooks their faults, and does not escalate relationships into hostility or revenge.
In the Sabha Parva context, Yudhiṣṭhira is articulating a standard of righteous conduct (dharma) for how the good should respond to injury or provocation—by restraint, forgiveness, and a focus on others’ merits rather than their offenses.
