Shloka 31
विदुरश्चापि तामार्ता कुन्तीमाश्चास्य हेतुभि: । प्रावेशयद् गृहं क्षत्ता स्वयमार्ततर: शनै:
viduraś cāpi tām ārtāṃ kuntīm āśvāsya hetubhiḥ | prāveśayad gṛhaṃ kṣattā svayam ārtataraḥ śanaiḥ ||
Vaiśampāyana berkata: Vidura pun, melihat Kuntī diliputi duka, meneguhkannya dengan banyak kata yang beralasan dan dengan lembut menuntunnya masuk ke rumahnya. Namun ia sendiri lebih tersayat, melangkah perlahan karena sedih.

Even the wise and dutiful may be inwardly broken by injustice, yet dharma requires compassionate action: Vidura restrains his own grief to steady Kuntī through reasoned consolation and protective care.
After a calamity that leaves Kuntī distressed, Vidura approaches her, comforts her with various arguments, and slowly escorts her into his home—though he himself is suffering even more.
