Vidura’s Message to Dhṛtarāṣṭra: Authorization for Dāna and Public Welfare (विदुरवाक्यम्—दानानुज्ञा)
द्वैपायनप्रसादाच्च त्वमपीदं तपोवनम् । राजन्नवाप्य दुष्प्रापां गतिमग्र्यां गमिष्यसि
Dvaipāyana-prasādāc ca tvam apīdaṃ tapovanam | rājan avāpya duṣprāpāṃ gatim agryāṃ gamiṣyasi, nareśvara ||
ナーラダは言った。「ドヴァイパーヤナ（ヴィヤーサ）の恩寵によって、あなたもまた、王よ、この苦行の森に至った。ここに来た以上、あなたは苦行を修し、得がたく勝ち取りがたい至上の境地—高貴なる帰趨—を得るであろう、人々の主よ。」

Educational Q&A
Spiritual progress is enabled by both divine/saintly grace (Vyāsa’s prasāda) and personal discipline (tapas). Even a king, after fulfilling worldly duties, can attain the highest destiny by entering a life of austerity and inner purification.
Nārada addresses the king who has arrived at the tapovana (hermitage-forest). He explains that this arrival is due to Vyāsa’s grace and foretells that, by practicing austerities there, the king will attain a rare and supreme spiritual end.
