Pāṇḍu’s Marriages, Conquests, and Triumphal Return (पाण्डोर्विवाह-विजय-प्रत्यागमनम्)
यो विचिन्त्य धिया धीरो व्यवस्यति स बुद्धिमान । तदिदं धर्मयुक्त च हितं चैव कुलस्य न:
yo vicintya dhiyā dhīro vyavasyati sa buddhimān | tad idaṁ dharmayuktaṁ ca hitaṁ caiva kulasya naḥ ||
«ຜູ້ໃດທີ່ໝັ້ນຄົງ ຄິດພິຈາລະນາດ້ວຍປັນຍາ ແລ້ວຈຶ່ງຕັດສິນໃຈ—ຜູ້ນັ້ນເທົ່ານັ້ນແມ່ນຜູ້ມີປັນຍາແທ້. ແນວທາງນີ້ສອດຄ່ອງກັບທັມມະ ແລະເປັນເພື່ອຄວາມຜາສຸກຂອງວົງຕະກູນຂອງພວກເຮົາ».

Educational Q&A
True wisdom is shown by calm deliberation followed by firm resolve; the best decision is one that aligns with dharma and promotes the welfare of one’s family or community.
In Vaiśampāyana’s narration, a speaker endorses a proposed course of action by praising the wise person who thinks carefully and then decides, asserting that the present proposal is both dharmic and beneficial for their lineage.
