Adhyaya 60: Self-Assertion, Daiva, and the Rhetoric of Inevitability (उद्योग पर्व)
तस्मान्न भवता चिन्ता कार्यषा स्यात् कथंचन । दैवेष्वपेक्षका होते शश्वद् भावेषु भारत
tasmān na bhavatā cintā kāryā syāt kathaṃcana | daiveṣv apekṣakā hote śaśvad bhāveṣu bhārata ||
Karena itu, janganlah engkau menaruh kecemasan sedikit pun. Wahai Bhārata, para dewa senantiasa memandang pada watak ilahi—ketenangan dan pengendalian diri—bukan pada dorongan asurik seperti nafsu dan amarah.

Educational Q&A
Do not be ruled by anxiety; cultivate daivī-bhāvas (divine dispositions like calmness and restraint), since the gods favor such inner qualities rather than impulses like desire and anger.
Vaiśaṃpāyana addresses a Bharata-descendant and offers reassurance, redirecting the listener from worry toward maintaining divine-minded virtues that align with dharma.
