वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse commends choosing peace over escalation: reconcile with the Pāṇḍavas, listen to well-wishers, and maintain friendly alliances—this ethical restraint (saṃśama) leads to lasting welfare (bhadrāṇi).
In Udyoga Parva’s pre-war diplomacy, Vaiśaṃpāyana reports advice urging the addressee (implicitly the Kaurava side) to make a settlement with the Pāṇḍavas and accept the guidance of trusted friends, promising long-term prosperity if peace is embraced.
