Shloka 31
विदुरश्चापि तामार्ता कुन्तीमाश्चास्य हेतुभि: । प्रावेशयद् गृहं क्षत्ता स्वयमार्ततर: शनै:
viduraś cāpi tām ārtāṃ kuntīm āśvāsya hetubhiḥ | prāveśayad gṛhaṃ kṣattā svayam ārtataraḥ śanaiḥ ||
Disse Vaiśampāyana: Vidura também, vendo Kuntī dominada pela dor, consolou-a com muitas palavras ponderadas e conduziu-a suavemente para dentro de sua casa. Contudo, ele próprio estava ainda mais aflito, caminhando devagar sob o peso da tristeza.

Even the wise and dutiful may be inwardly broken by injustice, yet dharma requires compassionate action: Vidura restrains his own grief to steady Kuntī through reasoned consolation and protective care.
After a calamity that leaves Kuntī distressed, Vidura approaches her, comforts her with various arguments, and slowly escorts her into his home—though he himself is suffering even more.
