Shloka 3
Dasyu-maryādā and Buddhi-guided Rāja-nīti (दस्युमर्यादा तथा बुद्धिप्रधान-राजनीति)
एतन्मे संशयं छिन्धि मतिममे सम्प्रमुह्दति । अविश्वासकथामेतामुपश्रुत्य पितामह,पितामह! आपकी यह अविश्वास-कथा सुनकर तो मेरी बुद्धिपर मोह छा गया। कृपया आप मेरे इस संशयका निवारण कीजिये
yudhiṣṭhira uvāca | etan me saṁśayaṁ chindhi matim mama sampramuhyati | aviśvāsa-kathām etām upaśrutya pitāmaha ||
Юдхиштхира сказал: «Рассей мой сомненья узел, ибо разум мой помутился. О дед (Питамаха), услышав это рассуждение о недоверии, я пришёл в смятение; прошу, разреши мою неуверенность.»
युधिछिर उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse models dharmic inquiry: when moral reasoning becomes clouded by a troubling example (here, a discourse on distrust), one should seek clarification from a reliable elder/teacher to remove doubt and restore right understanding.
In Śānti Parva’s instruction-setting, Yudhiṣṭhira addresses Bhīṣma as ‘Grandfather’ and asks him to dispel his confusion after hearing a discussion/story about distrust, requesting a clear resolution of his doubt.
