Restraint of Grief, Count of the Slain, Destinies, and Funerary Directives
विदुरं च महाबुद्धि युयुत्सुं चैव कौरवम् । इन्द्रसेनमुखांश्वैव भृत्यान् सूतांश्व॒ सर्वश:
viduraṃ ca mahābuddhi yuyutsuṃ caiva kauravam | indrasenamukhāṃś caiva bhṛtyān sūtāṃś ca sarvaśaḥ ||
ヴァイシャンパーヤナは語った――彼らはまた、大いなる知慧を備えたヴィドゥラ、クル族のユユツ、さらにインドラセーナを先頭として、従者と御者のすべてを召集した。戦後に続く重い務めのため、必要な者を余すところなく उपस्थितさせるためであった。
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
In the post-war crisis, wise counsel and orderly participation matter: the verse highlights gathering those with discernment (Vidura) and those responsible for practical duties (attendants and charioteers), implying that dharma is upheld through both ethical guidance and competent service.
Vaiśampāyana narrates that key persons—Vidura, Yuyutsu, and all household personnel including charioteers led by Indrasena—are called together, indicating preparations for solemn actions in the wake of the Kurukṣetra war.
