Shloka 27
विदुरस्य कृष्णं प्रति शमोपदेशः
Vidura’s Counsel to Krishna on the Limits of Peace
अकस्माच्चैव पार्थानां द्वेषणं नोपपद्यते । धर्मे स्थिता: पाण्डवेया: कस्तान् कि वक्तुमहति,“बिना कारण ही कदुन्तीपुत्रोंके साथ द्वेष रखना तुम्हारे लिये कदापि उचित नहीं है। पाण्डव सदा अपने धर्ममें स्थित रहते हैं, अतः उनके विरुद्ध कौन क्या कह सकता है?
akasmāccaiva pārthānāṁ dveṣaṇaṁ nopapadyate | dharme sthitāḥ pāṇḍaveyāḥ kastān kiṁ vaktum arhati ||
ବୈଶମ୍ପାୟନ କହିଲେ—ପୃଥାପୁତ୍ରମାନଙ୍କ ପ୍ରତି ହଠାତ୍, କାରଣ ବିନା ଦ୍ୱେଷ ରଖିବା ଯୁକ୍ତିସଙ୍ଗତ ନୁହେଁ। ପାଣ୍ଡବମାନେ ଧର୍ମରେ ଅଟୁଟ; ତେଣୁ ସେମାନଙ୍କ ବିରୋଧରେ କିଏ କ’ଣ କହିପାରିବ?
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
Enmity must have moral grounds; hatred without cause is improper. Those established in dharma are not legitimate targets of blame, so ethical judgment should restrain hostility.
In the Udyoga Parva’s pre-war deliberations, the narrator Vaiśampāyana underscores the Pāṇḍavas’ reputation for righteousness and argues that opposing them out of sheer animosity is unjustifiable.
