उद्योगपर्व — अध्याय 33: धृतराष्ट्र-विदुर संवादः (विदुरनीतिः)
Devanagari script
ऋणजु पश्यति य: सर्व चक्षुषानुपिबन्निव | आसीनमपि तूष्णीकमनुरज्यन्ति तं प्रजा:
Transliteration
ṛṇaju paśyati yaḥ sarva cakṣuṣānupibann iva | āsīnam api tūṣṇīkam anurajyanti taṃ prajāḥ ||
Translation
ヴィドゥラは言う。人々すべてを、親切で心を寄せる眼差しで――まるで目で飲み込むかのように――見つめる者は、民の愛情を得る。たとえ黙して座すのみでも、臣民はその人に帰依する。この偈は、声高な言葉や見せかけよりも、内なる気質と慈しみのまなざしこそが自然に信頼と忠誠を招くことを示す。治者の徳と社会の和合を説く教えである。
