उद्योगपर्व (अध्याय १२९) — केशवस्य वैभवप्रदर्शनम् / Krishna’s Theophanic Display in the Kuru Assembly
अहं तु सर्वास्तनयाननुजानामि ते नृप । “नरेश्वर! यह दुर्योधन जैसा चाहता है, वैसा ही हो। मैं आपके सभी पुत्रोंको इसके लिये आज्ञा देता हूँ ।।
ahaṁ tu sarvās tanayān anujānāmi te nṛpa | etac chrutvā tu viduraṁ dhṛtarāṣṭro 'bhyabhāṣata | kṣipram ānaya taṁ pāpaṁ rājya-lubdhaṁ suyodhanam |
ヴァイシャンパーヤナは言った。「王よ、そなたの息子たちすべてに許しを与える——ドゥルヨーダナの望むとおりにせよ。」 これを聞いて、ドリタラーシュトラはヴィドゥラに告げた。「急いで、あの罪深きスヨーダナ、国を貪る者をここへ連れて来い。友、重臣、兄弟、そして従う侍者たちを伴わせて来るのだ。もしなお彼を正しき道へ引き戻せるなら、それはよいことだ。」
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
Unchecked desire for power (rājya-lobha) is portrayed as a moral failing that endangers family and kingdom; even a king’s late wish to correct a wrong path must contend with the consequences of earlier indulgence and weak restraint.
After hearing a decisive statement granting the sons freedom to act as Duryodhana wishes, Dhṛtarāṣṭra urgently instructs Vidura to summon Duryodhana (with his circle) so that he might still attempt to redirect him toward righteous conduct and avert disaster.
