Udyoga-parva Adhyāya 34 — Vidura’s Counsel on Deliberation, Speech-Discipline, and Dharmic Kingship
अनसूयु: कृतप्रज्ञ: शोभनान्याचरन् सदा । न कृच्छूं महदाप्रोति सर्वत्र च विरोचते
an-asūyuḥ kṛta-prajñaḥ śobhanāny ācaran sadā | na kṛcchraṁ mahad āpnoti sarvatra ca virocate ||
जो दोषदृष्टीपासून मुक्त, स्थिरबुद्धी आणि सदैव शुभ आचरण करणारा आहे—तो महान् क्लेशाला प्राप्त होत नाही; तो सर्वत्र तेजस्वी होऊन मान मिळवतो।

Freedom from envy, steadiness of judgment, and consistent noble conduct protect a person from severe hardship and make them respected in all settings.
In the Udyoga Parva, Vidura offers moral and political counsel; here he highlights personal virtues—non-envy and steadfast wisdom—as the foundation for well-being and social honor amid the tensions leading to war.
