Udyoga-parva Adhyāya 71 — Kṣatra-dharma Counsel, Public Legitimacy, and Mobilization
श्रीभगवानुवाच अयमस्मि महाबाहो ब्रूहि यत् ते विवक्षितम् | करिष्यामि हि तत् सर्व यत् त्वं वक्ष्यसि भारत,श्रीभगवान् बोले--महाबाहो! यह मैं आपकी सेवाके लिये सर्वदा प्रस्तुत हूँ। आप जो कुछ कहना चाहते हों, कहें। भारत! आप जो-जो कहेंगे, वह सब कार्य मैं निश्चय ही पूर्ण करूँगा
śrībhagavān uvāca | ayam asmi mahābāho brūhi yat te vivakṣitam | kariṣyāmi hi tat sarvaṃ yat tvaṃ vakṣyasi bhārata ||
世尊は言われた。「大いなる腕を持つ者よ、われはここに立ち、備えは整っている。言いたいことを語れ。バーラタよ、汝が告げることはすべて、必ずや余すところなく成し遂げよう。」
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the ethic of committed support: a trusted ally (here, the Blessed Lord) offers readiness, attentive listening, and faithful execution of what is requested—an ideal of dependable counsel and service aligned with dharma.
In the Udyoga Parva’s pre-war negotiations and preparations, the Blessed Lord responds to a Bharata prince with assurance: he is present and prepared to do whatever the prince asks, signaling alliance and willingness to act.
