उद्योगपर्व — अध्याय १३५: कुन्त्याः कृष्णं प्रति संदेशः
Kuntī’s Message to Kṛṣṇa
इसे सुनकर प्रत्येक क्षत्राणी विद्याशूर, तप:शूर, दानशूर, तपस्वी, ब्राह्मी शोभासे सम्पन्न, साधुवादके योग्य, तेजस्वी, बलवान, परम सौभाग्यशाली, महारथी, धैर्यवान्, दुर्धर्ष विजयी, किसीसे भी पराजित न होनेवाले, दुष्टोंका दमन करनेवाले, धर्मात्माओंके रक्षक तथा सत्य- पराक्रमी वीर पुत्रको उत्पन्न करती है ।।
etat śrutvā pratyekaṃ kṣatrāṇī vidyāśūraṃ tapaḥśūraṃ dānaśūraṃ tapasvinaṃ brāhmīśobhasaṃpannaṃ sādhuvādakayogyaṃ tejasvinaṃ balavantaṃ parama-saubhāgyāśālinaṃ mahārathaṃ dhairyavantaṃ durdharṣa-vijayinaṃ kenāpi aparājitaṃ duṣṭa-damanaṃ dharmātma-rakṣakaṃ satya-parākramaṃ vīraṃ putram utpādayati || iti śrīmahābhārate udyogaparvaṇi bhagavadyānaparvaṇi vidulāputrānuśāsana-samāptau ṣaṭtriṃśy-adhika-śatatamo 'dhyāyaḥ ||
Mendengar demikian, setiap wanita Kṣatriya melahirkan seorang putera wira—pahlawan dalam ilmu, tapa, dan derma; seorang pertapa yang berdisiplin; dikurniai seri Brahmana; layak menerima pujian orang-orang saleh; bercahaya dan perkasa; amat bertuah; seorang mahārathi; teguh hati; tidak tertundukkan dan sentiasa menang; tidak pernah ditewaskan sesiapa; penunduk orang durjana; pelindung insan ber-dharma; serta wira sejati yang gagah berani. Demikian berakhir nasihat Vidulā kepada puteranya dalam Udyoga Parva, pada bahagian perutusan ilahi.
पुत्र उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse praises an ideal of Kshatriya formation: a mother’s counsel and values should produce a son who unites learning, austerity, generosity, and martial excellence, using power ethically—protecting the righteous, restraining the wicked, and grounding valor in truth.
This line functions as a culminating commendation within Vidulā’s instruction to her son: after hearing her exhortation, the text describes the kind of exemplary warrior-son that such teaching and Kshatriya resolve are meant to bring forth, and the colophon marks the close of the Vidulā–son instruction episode.
