Shloka 6
धर्मसूक्ष्मे त्यागप्रधान्यविचारः
Subtle Dharma and the Primacy of Renunciation
युद्धधर्मेषु सर्वेषु क्रियाणां नैपुणेषु च न त्वया सदृश: वक्षित् त्रिषु लोकेषु विद्यते
yuddhadharmeṣu sarveṣu kriyāṇāṃ naipuṇeṣu ca na tvayā sadṛśaḥ vaktā triṣu lokeṣu vidyate
युधिष्ठिर म्हणाला—युद्धधर्मांच्या सर्व अंगांत आणि सर्व व्यवहारकर्मांच्या कुशल अंमलबजावणीत त्रैलोक्यात तुझ्यासारखा वक्ता कोणीही नाही.
युधिछिर उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse underscores that ethical conduct in war (yuddha-dharma) and competence in action require authoritative guidance; true excellence is not merely martial power but clear, reliable instruction grounded in dharma.
In Śānti Parva’s instructional setting, Yudhiṣṭhira addresses a revered instructor and acknowledges that no one equals him in explaining the duties of warfare and the skilled performance of necessary actions, thereby affirming the teacher’s authority before further counsel is sought.
