Shloka 6
सहदेव–सात्यकि संवादः
Sahadeva and Satyaki on resolve after failed conciliation
अन्यथा चिन्तितो हार्थ: पुनर्भवति सो3न्यथा । अनित्यमतयो लोके नरा: पुरुषसत्तम
anyathā cintito hy arthaḥ punar bhavati so 'nyathā | anityamatayo loke narāḥ puruṣasattama ||
Wahai yang terbaik di antara manusia! Suatu perkara sering dipikirkan dengan satu cara, namun kembali terjadi dengan cara lain. Di dunia ini penilaian manusia tidak teguh; niat dan harapan mereka tidak kekal.
नकुल उवाच
Educational Q&A
Human plans and expectations frequently fail to match reality; therefore one should act with humility, caution, and steadiness of judgment rather than relying on unstable opinions or wishful thinking.
In the Udyoga Parva’s deliberative setting before the great war, Nakula offers reflective counsel, emphasizing that outcomes often differ from what is intended and that people in the world tend to be fickle-minded.
