Kṣānti–Tejas Viveka: Prahlāda’s Instruction to Bali

Draupadī’s Application

प्रभाववानपि नरस्तस्य लोका: सनातना: । क्रोधनस्त्वल्पविज्ञान: प्रेत्य चेह च नश्यति,वही मनुष्य प्रभावशाली कहा जाता है। उसीको सनातन लोक प्राप्त होते हैं। क्रोधी मनुष्य अल्पज्ञ होता है। वह इस लोक और परलोक दोनोंमें विनाशका ही भागी होता है

prabhāvān api naras tasya lokāḥ sanātanāḥ | krodhanas tv alpavijñānaḥ pretya ceha ca naśyati ||

たとえ人が権勢と影響力を備えていようとも、正しい行いによって永遠の世界に至るときにこそ、真に「力ある者」と呼ばれる。だが怒りに支配される者は見識が浅く、この世でも死後の世でも滅びに至る。

युधिछिर उवाच

Yudhiṣṭhira

Educational Q&A

True greatness is not mere worldly power; it is sustained by self-mastery and dharmic conduct that leads to lasting good. Anger signals poor discernment and brings destruction in both this life and the next.

Yudhiṣṭhira states a moral reflection within the Vana Parva context, contrasting the enduring reward of disciplined, righteous living with the double ruin—social and spiritual—caused by uncontrolled anger.
