Mārkaṇḍeya’s Consolation to the King: Exempla of Rāma and the Efficacy of Allies (मार्कण्डेयाश्वासनम्)
बुबुधे तं तु सक्रोध॑ पितरं राक्षसे श्वर: । कुबेरस्तत्प्रसादार्थ यतते सम सदा नूप,युधिष्ठिर! राक्षसोंके स्वामी कुबेरको जब यह बात मालूम हो गयी कि मेरे पिता मुझपर रष्ट रहते हैं, तब वे उन्हें प्रसन्न रखनेका यत्न करने लगे
bubudhe taṁ tu sakrodhaṁ pitaraṁ rākṣaseśvaraḥ | kuberas tatprasādārthaṁ yatate samaḥ sadā nūpa yudhiṣṭhira ||
マールカンデーヤは語った。「クベーラ（Kubera）、すなわち羅刹の主は、父が自分に怒っていると知るや、心を平らに保ちつつ、絶えず父の歓心を得ようと努めた。ユディシュティラ王よ、父を喜ばせるために力を尽くしたのだ。」

Educational Q&A
Even powerful figures should practice self-control and humility: when conflict arises, one should strive to restore harmony—especially by honoring elders and seeking their goodwill rather than escalating anger.
Mārkaṇḍeya tells Yudhiṣṭhira that Kubera learned Mārkaṇḍeya’s father was angry and therefore repeatedly endeavored, with a calm mind, to please him and obtain his favor.
