उद्योगपर्व — अध्याय 33: धृतराष्ट्र-विदुर संवादः (विदुरनीतिः)
अनुबन्धानपेक्षेत सानुबन्धेषु कर्मसु । सम्प्रधार्य च कुर्वीत न वेगेन समाचरेत्
anubandhān apekṣeta sānubandheṣu karmasu | sampradhārya ca kurvīta na vegena samācaret ||
ज्या कर्मांना पुढील परिणामांची सांगड असते, त्यांत प्रथम त्या अनुबंधांचा विचार करावा. नीट विचार करूनच कार्य करावे; घाईने कोणतेही काम सुरू करू नये.
विदुर उवाच
Before acting, one should examine the likely consequences (anubandha) and then proceed only after thorough deliberation; rash, hurried action is discouraged as contrary to wise and dharmic conduct.
In Udyoga Parva, Vidura is giving counsel in a tense pre-war context, urging careful judgment and restraint—guidance meant to prevent impulsive decisions that could worsen conflict and suffering.
