Sāma–Bheda–Daṇḍa
दुर्योधन निबोधेदं यत् त्वां वक्ष्यामि पुत्रक । तथा तत् कुरु भद्रें ते यद्यस्ति पितृगौरवम्
duryodhana nibodhedaṁ yat tvāṁ vakṣyāmi putraka | tathā tat kuru bhadraṁ te yady asti pitṛgauravam ||
ວາຍຸກ່າວວ່າ: «ດຸຣໂຍທະນະ, ຈົ່ງເຂົ້າໃຈເລື່ອງນີ້—ຟັງສິ່ງທີ່ຂ້າຈະບອກເຈົ້າ, ລູກເອີຍ. ຂໍໃຫ້ເປັນມົນຄຸນແກ່ເຈົ້າ. ຖ້າເຈົ້າຍັງມີຄວາມເຄົາລົບຕໍ່ພໍ່ຂອງເຈົ້າແມ່ນແຕ່ນ້ອຍນິດ ກໍຈົ່ງເຮັດຕາມທີ່ຂ້າສັ່ງ»។
वायुदेव उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse frames ethical persuasion through filial duty: if Duryodhana truly honors his father, he should heed corrective counsel and act for welfare rather than stubborn self-will.
Vāyudeva directly addresses Duryodhana, urging him to listen carefully and to follow the forthcoming instruction, appealing to his respect for his father as a moral lever.
