धृतराष्ट्रोपदेशः
Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s Instruction on Rājadharma and Bala
स राजन् धर्मशीलेन राज्ञा बीभत्सुना तथा । अनुनीतो महाबाहु: सौहदे स्थापितोडपि च
sa rājan dharmaśīlena rājñā bībhatsunā tathā | anunīto mahābāhuḥ sauhade sthāpito 'pi ca ||
Vaiśampāyana berkata: “Wahai Raja, Bhīmasena yang berlengan perkasa telah dipujuk dengan lembut oleh raja Yudhiṣṭhira yang berpegang pada dharma, dan juga oleh Bībhatsu (Arjuna). Walau sebelumnya gelisah, kini dia diteguhkan dalam niat baik—hatinya ditetapkan dalam persahabatan terhadap tuanku.”
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
Dharma-guided leadership resolves conflict through calm persuasion rather than force; righteous counsel can transform anger into goodwill and restore harmony among allies.
Vaiśampāyana narrates that Bhīma, previously agitated, is pacified and reconciled through the efforts of Yudhiṣṭhira and Arjuna, and is settled into a friendly disposition toward the addressed king.
