कर्णपरर्वणि त्रयोचत्वारिंशदध्यायः (Karṇa-parva Adhyāya 43) — Kṛṣṇa’s Battlefield Assessment and the Reversal Around Bhīma
इत्युक्त्वा ब्राह्मण: साधुरुत्तरं पुनरुक्तवान्
ity uktvā brāhmaṇaḥ sādhur uttaraṃ punar uktavān
Setelah berkata demikian, brāhmaṇa yang berbudi itu menjawab sekali lagi dengan jawapan lanjut—meneruskan nasihatnya dengan nada yang tenang dan benar.

The verse highlights the ethical weight of speech: a virtuous, learned person responds thoughtfully and continues guidance with composure, implying that righteous counsel is deliberate and sustained rather than impulsive.
After a prior statement, the brāhmaṇa—described as ‘sādhu’ (upright)—speaks again, indicating an ongoing dialogue in which he offers an additional or clarifying reply.
