उद्योगपर्व — अध्याय 33: धृतराष्ट्र-विदुर संवादः (विदुरनीतिः)
समवेक्ष्येह धर्मार्थी सम्भारान् योडधिगच्छति । स वै सम्भूतसम्भार: सततं सुखमेधते
samavekṣyeha dharmārthī sambhārān yo ’dhigacchati | sa vai sambhūta-sambhāraḥ satataṃ sukham edhate ||
ಈ ಲೋಕದಲ್ಲಿ ಧರ್ಮ ಮತ್ತು ಅರ್ಥವನ್ನು ಸಮ್ಯಕ್ವಾಗಿ ಪರಿಶೀಲಿಸಿ ಜಯಕ್ಕೆ ಬೇಕಾದ ಸಂಪನ್ಮೂಲಗಳನ್ನು ಸಂಗ್ರಹಿಸುವವನು, ಸನ್ನದ್ಧನಾಗಿ ಸದಾ ಸುಖಸಮೃದ್ಧಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಬೆಳೆಯುತ್ತಾನೆ.
विदुर उवाच
Success and lasting prosperity come from thoughtful planning grounded in dharma and artha: first discern what is right and beneficial, then gather the necessary means; being properly prepared sustains well-being.
In Vidura’s counsel (nīti) during the Udyoga Parva, he offers practical-ethical guidance: a ruler or person should evaluate righteousness and practical advantage, then assemble the needed preparations for achieving aims, which leads to stable prosperity.
