vidura uvāca śṛṇu bhīmasya karmedam atimānuṣa-karmaṇaḥ | śruta-pūrvaṃ mayā teṣāṃ kathānteṣu punaḥ punaḥ ||
ဝိဒုရက ပြောသည်– «အရှင်မင်းကြီး၊ လူသားအင်အားကို ကျော်လွန်သော ဘီမ၏ ဤလုပ်ရပ်ကို နားထောင်တော်မူပါ။ ထို ပाण्डဝတို့အကြောင်း ပြောကြားသည့် ပုံပြင်အဆုံးပိုင်းများတွင် ငါသည် ထပ်ခါထပ်ခါ ကြားဖူးခဲ့သည်»။
विदुर उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse frames moral instruction through exemplary action: Vidura urges the king to attend to Bhīma’s extraordinary deed as a meaningful precedent repeatedly preserved in tradition, implying that great power and decisive action must be understood within dharma and remembered as ethical narrative.
Vidura begins a recounting: he addresses the king and introduces a remarkable exploit of Bhīma, noting that he has heard this account many times in stories about the Pāṇḍavas, thereby setting up an authoritative retelling.
