Udyoga-parva Adhyāya 3 — Sātyaki on Inner Disposition, Legitimacy, and Coercive Readiness
अनुनीता हि भीष्मेण द्रोणेन विदुरेण च
anunītā hi bhīṣmeṇa droṇena vidureṇa ca
ໄວສັມປາຍະນະ ກ່າວວ່າ: ແທ້ຈິງແລ້ວ ນາງໄດ້ຖືກອ້ອນວອນ ແລະ ຕັກເຕືອນຊ້ຳໆ—ໂດຍ ພີສະມະ, ໂດຍ ໂດຣນະ, ແລະ ໂດຍ ວິດຸຣະ ດ້ວຍ—ໃຫ້ເລືອກທາງທີ່ສອດຄ່ອງກັບຄວາມຄວນຄ່າ ແລະ ຄວາມສຳລວມຕົນ.
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
When a crisis approaches, the counsel of elders and the wise—grounded in dharma and restraint—should be heeded; repeated ethical persuasion signals the seriousness of the moral choice before the listener.
Vaiśampāyana notes that a key figure (referred to here as 'she' by the feminine form anunītā) has already been urged and advised by leading authorities in the Kuru court—Bhīṣma, Droṇa, and Vidura—indicating sustained attempts to guide her toward a proper course amid rising tensions.
