Adhyaya 32: Saṃjaya’s Return, Audience with Dhṛtarāṣṭra, and Ethical Admonition
न संरम्भेणारभते त्रिवर्ग- माकारित: शंसति तत्त्वमेव । न मित्रार्थे रोचयते विवादं नापूजित: कुप्यति चाप्यमूढ:,जो क्रोध या उतावलीके साथ धर्म, अर्थ तथा कामका आरम्भ नहीं करता, पूछनेपर यथार्थ बात ही बतलाता है, मित्रके लिये झगड़ा नहीं पसंद करता, आदर न पानेपर क्ुद्ध नहीं होता, विवेक नहीं खो बैठता, दूसरोंके दोष नहीं देखता, सबपर दया करता है, असमर्थ होते हुए किसीकी जमानत नहीं देता, बढ़कर नहीं बोलता तथा विवादको सह लेता है, ऐसा मनुष्य सब जगह प्रशंसा पाता है
na saṃrambheṇārabhate trivargam ākāritaḥ śaṃsati tattvam eva | na mitrārthe rocayate vivādaṃ nāpūjitaḥ kupyati cāpy amūḍhaḥ ||
ଯେ କ୍ରୋଧ କିମ୍ବା ଉତାବଳାରେ ଧର୍ମ-ଅର୍ଥ-କାମ ଏହି ତ୍ରିବର୍ଗର କାର୍ଯ୍ୟ ଆରମ୍ଭ କରେନି, ପଚାରିଲେ କେବଳ ସତ୍ୟ କହେ, ମିତ୍ର ପାଇଁ ମଧ୍ୟ ବିବାଦକୁ ଭଲ ପାଏନି, ଏବଂ ସମ୍ମାନ ନ ମିଳିଲେ ମଧ୍ୟ କ୍ରୋଧିତ ହୁଏନି—ସେ ଧୀର ଜ୍ଞାନୀ।

Educational Q&A
A wise person is recognized by restraint and integrity: they do not act from rash impulse, speak truth when asked, avoid needless dispute even for allies, and remain unangered by lack of honor—showing steady discernment (amūḍhatā).
In Udyoga Parva, as conflict looms, Vidura offers ethical counsel (nīti) describing the qualities of a commendable person. The verse functions as guidance for conduct and speech amid political tension and provocation.
