Shloka 28
धृतराष्ट्रविलापः — Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s Lament and Inquiry (Śalya-parva, Adhyāya 2)
तस्याथ वदतः सूत बहुशो मम संनिधौ
tasyātha vadataḥ sūta bahuśo mama saṃnidhau
Kemudian, wahai Sūta, ketika dia berkata-kata, di hadapanku sendiri, kata-katanya diulang berkali-kali—menegaskan apa yang harus diingati dan dilaksanakan dalam krisis yang sedang memuncak.
धघतयाट्र उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the importance of attentive witnessing and repeated counsel: in moments of conflict, guidance is not merely spoken once but reinforced, so that duty and right action are not forgotten amid turmoil.
The speaker addresses Sūta and notes that the person in question spoke repeatedly in the speaker’s presence, marking a narrative transition where testimony and reiterated speech set up the next events or instructions.
