Shloka 10

स्मरन्ति सुकृतान्येव न वैराणि कृतान्यपि । सन्त: प्रतिविजानन्तो लब्ध्वा प्रत्ययमात्मन:,महात्मा पुरुष अपने अनुभवको सामने रखकर दूसरोंके सुख-दुःखको भी अपने समान जानते हुए उनके अच्छे बर्तावोंको ही याद रखते हैं, उनके द्वारा किये हुए वैर-विरोधको नहीं

smaranti sukṛtāny eva na vairāṇi kṛtāny api | santaḥ prativijānanto labdhvā pratyayam ātmanaḥ ||

സജ്ജനർ സുകൃത്യങ്ങൾ മാത്രമേ ഓർക്കൂ; ചെയ്ത വൈരവും അല്ല. സ്വന്തം അനുഭവത്തിൽ നിന്ന് അന്തർനിശ്ചയം നേടി അവർ മറ്റുള്ളവരുടെ സുഖദുഃഖങ്ങളെ തങ്ങളുടേതുപോലെ തിരിച്ചറിഞ്ഞ്, ആളുകളുടെ സദാചാരമേ മനസ്സിൽ സൂക്ഷിക്കൂ—വൈരവിരോധമല്ല.

Yudhiṣṭhira

Educational Q&A

A truly noble person chooses to remember others’ merits rather than their hostility. Grounded in inner certainty and empathy, such a person treats others’ happiness and suffering as comparable to one’s own, and thus responds with forbearance and ethical restraint.

In the Sabha Parva context, Yudhiṣṭhira articulates a dharmic standard of conduct: the virtuous do not cling to grievances. He frames moral judgment through lived inner conviction (pratyaya) and empathetic understanding, emphasizing reconciliation and magnanimity over retaliation.
