Shloka 10
स्मरन्ति सुकृतान्येव न वैराणि कृतान्यपि । सन्त: प्रतिविजानन्तो लब्ध्वा प्रत्ययमात्मन:
smaranti sukṛtāny eva na vairāṇi kṛtāny api | santaḥ prativijānanto labdhvā pratyayam ātmanaḥ ||
ユディシュティラは言った。「高貴なる者は善行のみを憶え、なされた怨みさえ心に留めない。自らの経験によって内なる確信を得た彼らは、他者の喜びと悲しみを己のものに等しいと知る。ゆえに、人の敵意ではなく、その善き振る舞いをこそ記憶するのだ。」
युधिछिर उवाच
Educational Q&A
A truly noble person chooses to remember others’ merits rather than their hostility. Grounded in inner certainty and empathy, such a person treats others’ happiness and suffering as comparable to one’s own, and thus responds with forbearance and ethical restraint.
In the Sabha Parva context, Yudhiṣṭhira articulates a dharmic standard of conduct: the virtuous do not cling to grievances. He frames moral judgment through lived inner conviction (pratyaya) and empathetic understanding, emphasizing reconciliation and magnanimity over retaliation.
