Brahmaśirastra-pratisaṃhāra — Retraction and redirection of the supreme weapon

Sauptika Parva, Adhyāya 15

अरोषस्तव चैवास्तु पार्था: सन्तु निरामया: । न ह्ाधर्मेण राजर्षि: पाण्डवो जेतुमिच्छति,तुम्हारा रोष शान्त हो और पाण्डव भी स्वस्थ रहें। पाण्डुपुत्र राजर्षि युधिष्ठिर किसीको भी अधर्मसे नहीं जीतना चाहते हैं

aroṣas tava caivāstu pārthāḥ santu nirāmayāḥ | na hy adharmeṇa rājarṣiḥ pāṇḍavo jetum icchati ||

నీ కోపము శమించుగాక; పృథాపుత్రులైన పాండవులు నిరామయులుగా ఉండుగాక. ఎందుకంటే రాజర్షియైన పాండవుడు (యుధిష్ఠిరుడు) అధర్మమార్గమున గెలవదలచడు.

Educational Q&A

True victory is not merely success in conflict but success aligned with dharma; a righteous king like Yudhiṣṭhira refuses to conquer through adharma, even when provoked by anger or circumstances.

Vyāsa offers a calming benediction—urging the listener’s anger to subside and wishing health for the Pāṇḍavas—while affirming that Yudhiṣṭhira, as a rājarṣi, seeks victory only through righteous conduct.
