Shloka 33
Yudhiṣṭhira’s Remorse and Vyāsa’s Teaching on Impermanence (Śoka-nivāraṇa)
यथा सृष्टोडसि कौन्तेय धात्रा कर्मसु तत् कुरु । अत एव हि सिद्धिस्ते नेशस्त्वं कर्मणां नृप
yathā sṛṣṭo 'si kaunteya dhātrā karmasu tat kuru | ata eva hi siddhis te neśas tvaṃ karmaṇāṃ nṛpa ||
ヴィヤーサは言った。「クンティの子よ、王よ。創造主が汝をある務めのために形づくったそのとおりに、まさにその務めを行え。そこからのみ汝の成就は生まれる。王よ、汝は行為（とその果）を支配する主ではない。」

Educational Q&A
One should perform the duties for which one is naturally and providentially constituted (svadharma). Fulfillment comes from faithful performance of one’s proper work, while one should not claim lordship over actions and especially their outcomes.
In Śānti Parva’s instruction-oriented setting, Vyāsa addresses a Kuntī’s son who is also a king, urging him to adhere to his ordained responsibilities and to relinquish the notion that he controls the ultimate results of action.
