Udyoga-parva Adhyāya 71 — Kṣatra-dharma Counsel, Public Legitimacy, and Mobilization
धर्मनित्य: प्रशान्तात्मा कार्ययोगवह: सदा । नाधर्मे कुरुते बुद्धि न च पापे प्रवर्तते,सदा धर्ममें तत्पर रहनेवाला पुरुष शान्तचित्त होकर नित्य-निरन्तर सत्कर्मोमें लगा रहता है। वह कभी अधर्ममें मन नहीं लगाता और न पापमें ही प्रवृत्त होता है
dharmanityaḥ praśāntātmā kāryayogavahaḥ sadā | nādharme kurute buddhiṁ na ca pāpe pravartate ||
ଯେ ପୁରୁଷ ସଦା ଧର୍ମନିଷ୍ଠ, ଶାନ୍ତଚିତ୍ତ ଏବଂ ନିତ୍ୟ ସତ୍କର୍ମର ଯୋଗକୁ ବହନ କରେ, ସେ ସଦା ଶୁଭ କର୍ମରେ ଲିନ ରହେ। ସେ କେବେ ଅଧର୍ମରେ ବୁଦ୍ଧି ଲଗାଏ ନାହିଁ, ନ ପାପରେ ପ୍ରବୃତ୍ତ ହୁଏ।

Educational Q&A
Steadiness in dharma expresses itself as inner calm and consistent commitment to what ought to be done; such a person neither entertains intentions toward adharma nor actively pursues sinful action.
In the Udyoga Parva’s pre-war deliberations, Yudhiṣṭhira articulates a moral ideal: the dharma-grounded person remains composed and devoted to rightful duties, refusing both the thought and the practice of wrongdoing.
