Shloka 29
विदुरस्य कृष्णं प्रति शमोपदेशः
Vidura’s Counsel to Krishna on the Limits of Peace
कामक्रोधानुवर्ती हि यो मोहाद् विरुरुत्सति । गुणवन्तं च यो द्वेष्टि तमाहु: पुरुषाधमम्,“जो काम और क्रोधके वशीभूत होकर मोहवश किसी गुणवान् पुरुषके साथ विरोध करना चाहता है, उसे पुरुषोंमें अधम कहा गया है
kāmakrodhānuvartī hi yo mohād virurutsati | guṇavantaṃ ca yo dveṣṭi tam āhuḥ puruṣādhamam ||
ဝိုင်ရှမ္ပာယန မိန့်သည်— ကာမနှင့် ဒေါသ၏အလိုလိုက်၍ မောဟကြောင့် မျက်ကန်းသကဲ့သို့ ဖြစ်ကာ သီလဂုဏ်ပြည့်ဝသူကို ဆန့်ကျင်လိုသူကို လူတို့အနက် အနိမ့်ဆုံးသူဟု ခေါ်ကြ၏။
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
A person ruled by desire and anger loses clarity (moha) and turns against virtue itself; such passion-driven hostility toward the good is condemned as the lowest human conduct.
Vaiśampāyana delivers a moral characterization: he identifies the type of person who, under the sway of kāma and krodha, seeks conflict with a guṇavant (a worthy person), marking this as a sign of ethical degradation—an apt warning in the Udyoga Parva’s pre-war counsel and negotiations.
