Strī Parva, Adhyāya 2 — Vidura’s Consolation on Kāla, Karma, and the Limits of Lamentation (विदुरोपदेशः)
यस्यां यस्यामवस्थायां यत् करोति शुभाशुभम् | तस्यां तस्यथामवस्थायां तत्फलं समुपाश्चुते,मनुष्य जिस-जिस अवस्थामें जो-जो शुभ या अशुभ कर्म करता है, उसी-उसी अवस्थामें उसका फल भी पा लेता है
yasyāṁ yasyām avasthāyāṁ yat karoti śubhāśubham | tasyāṁ tasyathām avasthāyāṁ tatphalaṁ samupāśnute ||
人はどのような境遇にあって善悪いずれの行いをなすにせよ、その同じ境遇において、その果報を受ける。
विदुर उवाच
Educational Q&A
A person inevitably experiences the fruit of his deeds: whatever good or bad action he performs in a given situation, its result is encountered correspondingly—often within the same lived condition—highlighting personal responsibility and the inescapability of karma.
In the Strī Parva’s aftermath of the war, Vidura offers reflective counsel, emphasizing ethical accountability: the devastation is framed not as random fate but as the ripening of prior choices and conduct.
