Adhyaya 32: Saṃjaya’s Return, Audience with Dhṛtarāṣṭra, and Ethical Admonition
षडेव तु गुणा: पुंसा न हातव्या: कदाचन । सत्यं दानमनालस्यमनसूया क्षमा धृति:,मनुष्यको कभी भी सत्य, दान, कर्मण्यता, अनसूया (गुणोंमें दोष दिखानेकी प्रवृत्तिका अभाव), क्षमा तथा धैर्य--इन छ: गुणोंका त्याग नहीं करना चाहिये
ṣaḍ eva tu guṇāḥ puṃsā na hātavyāḥ kadācana | satyaṃ dānam anālasyam anasūyā kṣamā dhṛtiḥ ||
വിദുരൻ പറഞ്ഞു—മനുഷ്യൻ ഈ ആറു ഗുണങ്ങൾ ഒരിക്കലും ഉപേക്ഷിക്കരുത്: സത്യം, ദാനം, അനാലസ്യം (കർമ്മപ്രവർത്തിത്വം), അനസൂയ (ദോഷദർശനവും അസൂയയും ഇല്ലായ്മ), ക്ഷമ, ധൃതി (ധൈര്യ-സ്ഥൈര്യം)।

Educational Q&A
Vidura teaches that six virtues must never be relinquished: truthfulness, generosity, diligence, non-envious non-fault-finding attitude (anasūyā), forgiveness, and steadfast fortitude. Together they preserve dharma and prevent moral collapse under pressure.
In Udyoga Parva, as tensions rise toward war, Vidura offers ethical and political counsel. This verse is part of his instruction, emphasizing personal virtues as the foundation for right decision-making amid impending conflict.
