Shloka 4
धृतराष्ट्र रवाच अशोच्यत्वं कुतस्तेषां येषां वैरं भविष्यति । पाण्डवैर्युद्धशौण्डैर्हि बलवद्धिर्महारथै:
dhṛtarāṣṭra uvāca: aśocyatvaṃ kutaḥ teṣāṃ yeṣāṃ vairaṃ bhaviṣyati | pāṇḍavair yuddhaśauṇḍair hi balavaddhir mahārathaiḥ ||
ଧୃତରାଷ୍ଟ୍ର କହିଲେ—ଯୁଦ୍ଧକୁଶଳ, ବଳବାନ୍ ମହାରଥୀ ପାଣ୍ଡବମାନଙ୍କ ସହ ଯାହାଙ୍କର ବୈର ହେବ, ସେମାନେ କିପରି ଶୋକରହିତ ରହିପାରିବେ?

Educational Q&A

Dhṛtarāṣṭra reflects on the looming conflict: anyone who becomes an enemy of the mighty, war-skilled Pāṇḍavas cannot remain untroubled. The line conveys his apprehension about the consequences of antagonizing them.
