Udyoga-parva Adhyāya 30: Sañjaya’s Departure and Yudhiṣṭhira’s Commission of Greetings
तथैव विदुरं ब्रूया: कुरूणां मन्त्रधारिणम् | अयुद्ध॑ सौम्य भाषस्व हितकामो युधिष्िरे
tathaiva viduraṃ brūyāḥ kurūṇāṃ mantradhāriṇam | ayuddhaṃ saumya bhāṣasva hitakāmo yudhiṣṭhire saṃjaya |
同じく、クル族の政道を担う助言者ヴィドゥラ(Vidura)にも伝えよ――「温和なる御方よ、戦なき道を勧めてください。あなたはユディシュティラ(Yudhiṣṭhira)の益を願う人である、サンジャヤ(Saṃjaya)よ」と。
युधिछिर उवाच
Righteous leadership prioritizes peace and the welfare of all; even when conflict looms, one should seek counsel that restrains violence (ayuddha) and aligns with dharma and genuine well-wishing (hitakāma).
Yudhiṣṭhira instructs Saṃjaya to convey a message to Vidura, the Kuru counsellor, urging him to advise against war. The appeal relies on Vidura’s reputation as a truthful, dharma-guided well-wisher of Yudhiṣṭhira.
