Adhyaya 32: Saṃjaya’s Return, Audience with Dhṛtarāṣṭra, and Ethical Admonition
देवतानां च संकल्पमनुभावं च धीमताम् । विनयं कृतविद्यानां विनाशं पापकर्मणाम्,देवताओंका संकल्प, बुद्धिमानोंका प्रभाव, विद्वानों-की नम्रनता और पापियोंका विनाश
devatānāṁ ca saṅkalpam anubhāvaṁ ca dhīmatām | vinayaṁ kṛtavidyānāṁ vināśaṁ pāpakarmaṇām ||
ヴィドゥラは世に顕れる道の秩序を語った。「神々の決意は必ず成り、賢者の威徳はよく及び、真に学ある者には謙虚が宿り、罪業に手を染める者には避けがたい滅びが訪れる。」

In Vidura’s counsel during the Udyoga Parva, he summarizes observable principles of righteous governance and conduct, contrasting the traits of the wise and learned with the fate of wrongdoers.
