Entry into Vāraṇāvata and Suspicion of the Lac-House

Devanagari script

विदुरो धृतराष्ट्राय गान्धार्या: पाण्डवारणि: | न्यवेदयेतां तत्‌ सर्व कुमाराणां विचेष्टितम्‌,विदुर धृतराष्ट्रको और पाण्डव जननी कुन्ती गान्धारीको उन राजकुमारोंकी सारी चेष्टाएँ बताती जाती थीं

Transliteration

viduro dhṛtarāṣṭrāya gāndhāryāḥ pāṇḍavāraṇiḥ | nyavedayetāṃ tat sarvaṃ kumārāṇāṃ viceṣṭitam |

Translation

Vidura kept informing Dhṛtarāṣṭra, and Kuntī—the mother of the Pāṇḍavas—kept informing Gāndhārī, about all the conduct and doings of those princes. The verse underscores the elders’ responsibility to stay aware of the young heirs’ behavior, since such knowledge is essential for guiding them toward dharma and preventing harm born of unchecked impulses.
