dharmārthāv abhisantyajya saṃrambhaṃ yo 'numanyate | hasanti vyasane tasya durhṛdā na cirād iva ||

Translation

Вайшампаяна сказал: «Тот, кто, отвергнув и дхарму, и артху, избирает следовать лишь безрассудному гневу, — вскоре становится посмешищем для врагов, когда они видят его павшим в бедствие».

Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

Abandoning dharma (right conduct) and artha (practical welfare) to follow uncontrolled anger leads quickly to downfall; such ruin becomes a cause of mockery for one’s enemies. The verse urges restraint and alignment of action with ethical and prudent aims.

What is happening in the narrative?

In Vaiśampāyana’s narration within the Udyoga Parva’s counsel-filled context, a general moral warning is voiced: rash, anger-driven choices—especially in political and conflict situations—invite swift disaster and embolden adversaries.
