कृष्णेन विदुरं प्रति आगमन-हेतु-निवेदनम् / Krishna explains the purpose of his coming to Vidura
एतैश्वान्यैश्व बहुभिदोषैरेव समन्वित: । त्वयोच्यमान: श्रेयोडपि संरम्भान्न ग्रहीष्यति,'ये तथा और भी बहुत-से दोष उसमें भरे हुए हैं। आप उसे हितकी बात बतायेंगे, तो भी वह क्रोधवश उसे स्वीकार नहीं करेगा
etaiś cānyaiś ca bahubhir doṣair eva samanvitaḥ | tvayocyamānaḥ śreyo 'pi saṃrambhān na grahīṣyati ||
«ດ້ວຍຄວາມຜິດເຫຼົ່ານີ້ ແລະ ຄວາມຜິດອື່ນໆອີກຫຼາຍ ເຂົາຈຶ່ງເຕັມໄປດ້ວຍຂໍ້ດ່າງພອຍ. ແມ່ນແຕ່ທ່ານຈະກ່າວສິ່ງທີ່ເປັນປະໂຫຍດແທ້ໃຫ້ຟັງ ເຂົາກໍບໍ່ຮັບໄວ້; ເພາະໃນໄຟໂກດ ແລະ ຄວາມຫຸນຫັນ ເຂົາປະຕິເສດຄຳແນະນຳດີ»។
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
A mind dominated by doṣas (faults) and saṃrambha (angry impulsiveness) becomes unreceptive: even well-intended, welfare-promoting counsel (śreyas) is rejected. Ethical speech alone is insufficient unless the listener has self-control and openness to dharma.
Vaiśampāyana remarks that the person being discussed is burdened with many defects; therefore, even if addressed with beneficial advice, he will not accept it because anger and agitation overpower his judgment.
