Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s Dynastic Counsel on Legitimate Rule
दीयतां पाण्डुपुत्रेभ्यो राज्यार्धमरिकर्शन । सममाचार्यक॑ तात तव तेषां च मे सदा,'शत्रुसूदन! तुम पाण्डवोंका आधा राज्य दे दो। तात! मेरा यह आचार्यत्व तुम्हारे और पाण्डवोंके लिये सदा समान है
dīyatāṃ pāṇḍuputrebhyo rājyārdham arikarṣaṇa | samam ācāryakaṃ tāta tava teṣāṃ ca me sadā ||
ວາຍຸ ກ່າວວ່າ: «ໂອ ຜູ້ປາບສັດຕູ, ຈົ່ງມອບອານາຈັກເຄິ່ງໜຶ່ງໃຫ້ແກ່ລູກຊາຍຂອງ ປານດຸ. ລູກເອີຍ, ຄວາມເປັນອາຈານຂອງຂ້າພະເຈົ້າ ບໍ່ເຄີຍເອີ້ນອຽງ—ເທົ່າທຽມກັນທັງຕໍ່ເຈົ້າ ແລະຕໍ່ພວກເຂົາ.»
वायुदेव उवाच
Educational Q&A
A ruler should act with fairness and restraint: offering the Pāṇḍavas their rightful share prevents adharma and needless war, and a true teacher must remain impartial between rival parties.
Vāyu addresses a warrior-king as ‘subduer of foes’ and urges him to settle the dispute by granting the Pāṇḍavas half the kingdom, emphasizing that his guidance as an ācārya is equally meant for both sides.
