Kṣānti–Tejas Viveka: Prahlāda’s Instruction to Bali
Draupadī’s Application
तस्यात्मानं संत्यजतो लोका नश्यन्त्यनात्मन: । तस्माद् द्रौपद्यशक्तस्य मन्योर्नियमनं स्मृतम्,अपने चित्तको वशमें न रखनेके कारण क्रोधवश देहत्याग करनेवाले उस मनुष्यके लोक और परलोक दोनों नष्ट हो जाते हैं। अतः द्रुपदकुमारी! असमर्थके लिये अपने क्रोधको रोकना ही अच्छा माना गया है
tasya ātmānaṃ saṃtyajato lokā naśyanty anātmanaḥ | tasmād draupady aśaktasya manyor niyamanaṃ smṛtam ||
Yudhiṣṭhira said: “For a person who, lacking self-mastery, abandons his life under the force of anger, both his welfare in this world and his prospects in the next are ruined. Therefore, O Draupadī, for one who is not strong enough to bear and act rightly, it is held best to restrain anger.”
