Vaiśampāyana berkata: Setelah segera menempuh perjalanan itu dan tiba di kota raja, Vidura yang amat bijaksana memasuki ibu kota, dihormati dan disambut dengan takzim oleh golongan dwijati (yang “dua kali lahir”).
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse highlights that wisdom and righteous conduct (as embodied by Vidura) command spontaneous honor from the learned; social reverence is portrayed as properly directed toward ethical intelligence rather than mere power.
Vidura hastens along the road, reaches King Yudhiṣṭhira’s city, and enters the capital while being respectfully welcomed by the dvijas (twice-born), indicating his recognized stature as a wise and honorable counselor.
