Adhyaya 32: Saṃjaya’s Return, Audience with Dhṛtarāṣṭra, and Ethical Admonition
देवतानां च संकल्पमनुभावं च धीमताम् । विनयं कृतविद्यानां विनाशं पापकर्मणाम्,देवताओंका संकल्प, बुद्धिमानोंका प्रभाव, विद्वानों-की नम्रनता और पापियोंका विनाश
devatānāṁ ca saṅkalpam anubhāvaṁ ca dhīmatām | vinayaṁ kṛtavidyānāṁ vināśaṁ pāpakarmaṇām ||
Tekad para dewa yang tak meleset, pengaruh ampuh orang bijak, kerendahan hati mereka yang sungguh berilmu, dan kebinasaan yang niscaya menimpa pelaku dosa—keempatnya menampakkan tatanan dharma yang bekerja nyata di dunia.
