Sāma–Bheda–Daṇḍa
दुर्योधन निबोधेदं यत् त्वां वक्ष्यामि पुत्रक । तथा तत् कुरु भद्रें ते यद्यस्ति पितृगौरवम्
duryodhana nibodhedaṁ yat tvāṁ vakṣyāmi putraka | tathā tat kuru bhadraṁ te yady asti pitṛgauravam ||
ପୁତ୍ର ଦୁର୍ୟୋଧନ! ମୁଁ ଯାହା କହିବାକୁ ଯାଉଛି, ତାହା ଭଲଭାବେ ବୁଝି ଶୁଣ। ତୋର ମଙ୍ଗଳ ହେଉ। ଯଦି ପିତା ପ୍ରତି ତୋ ହୃଦୟରେ ଅଣୁମାତ୍ର ମଧ୍ୟ ଗୌରବ ଓ ଆଦର ଥାଏ, ତେବେ ମୁଁ ଯେପରି କହୁଛି ସେପରି ହିଁ କର।

Educational Q&A
The verse frames ethical persuasion through filial duty: if Duryodhana truly honors his father, he should heed corrective counsel and act for welfare rather than stubborn self-will.
Vāyudeva directly addresses Duryodhana, urging him to listen carefully and to follow the forthcoming instruction, appealing to his respect for his father as a moral lever.
