Kṣānti–Tejas Viveka: Prahlāda’s Instruction to Bali
Draupadī’s Application
न क्रोधो5भ्यन्तरस्तस्य भवतीति विनिश्चितम् । दूरदर्शी विद्वान जिसे तेजस्वी कहते हैं, उसके भीतर क्रोध नहीं होता; यह निश्चित बात है
na krodho 'bhyantaras tasya bhavatīti viniścitam |
Telah dipastikan dengan teguh bahwa amarah tidak bangkit di dalam diri orang semacam itu. Ia yang berpandangan jauh, berilmu, dan bercahaya—yang disebut orang ‘tejasvī’—tidak menyimpan murka di batinnya.
युधिछिर उवाच
Educational Q&A
Inner anger is incompatible with true wisdom and radiance (tejas). A genuinely far-seeing and learned person is characterized by inner restraint; ethical strength is shown not by outward power but by the absence of inward wrath.
Yudhiṣṭhira is articulating a moral judgment about the nature of the truly wise and ‘tejasvī’ person, emphasizing that such a person does not entertain anger internally—framing self-mastery as a hallmark of dharmic character.
