धृतराष्ट्रोपदेशः

Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s Instruction on Rājadharma and Bala

न च मन्युस्त्वया कार्य इति त्वां प्राह धर्मराट्‌ । संस्मृत्य भीमस्तद्वैरं यदन्‍्यायवदाचरत्‌,“धर्मराजने आपसे कहलाया है कि भीमसेन पूर्व वैरका स्मरण करके जो कभी-कभी आपके साथ अन्याय-सा कर बैठते हैं, उसके लिये आप इनपर क्रोध न कीजियेगा

na ca manyus tvayā kārya iti tvāṃ prāha dharmarāṭ | saṃsmṛtya bhīmas tad-vairaṃ yad anyāyavad ācarat |

ヴァイシャンパーヤナは言った。「ダルマ王は汝にこう告げた。『怒りを起こしてはならぬ。』ビーーマは旧き怨みを思い出して、ときに汝に対し不当と思われる振る舞いをすることがある。ゆえに、そのことで彼を怒ってはならぬ。」

Educational Q&A

The verse emphasizes restraint of anger and compassionate forbearance: even if someone acts unjustly due to old hostility, one should not respond with wrath, especially when guided by dharma.

Vaiśampāyana reports that Yudhiṣṭhira (Dharmarāja) counsels the addressed person not to be angry with Bhīma, explaining that Bhīma’s occasional harshness arises from remembering past enmity.
