Transliteration

mahārāja manuṣyeṣu nindyaṃ yaḥ sarvam ācaret | sa vadhyaḥ sarvalokasya ninditāni samācaran ||

Translation

మహారాజా! ఇతర మనుష్యుల పట్ల పూర్తిగా నిందనీయం అయిన ప్రవర్తనను ఎల్లప్పుడూ చేసే వాడు, నిందిత కర్మల్లో మునిగినందున సమస్త లోక దృష్టిలో శిక్షార్హుడు—అవసరమైతే వధ్యుడే—అవుతాడు.

Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

Persistent, universally blameworthy conduct toward others places a person outside the protection of dharma and social trust; such a wrongdoer is regarded by society as deserving severe punishment, because ethical life depends on restraining condemned actions.

What is happening in the narrative?

Sañjaya addresses the king (Dhṛtarāṣṭra) and states a moral judgment about human conduct: one who continually behaves in a reprehensible way toward others becomes, in the eyes of all people, liable to harsh punishment—an ethical warning relevant to the escalating conflict in the Udyoga Parva.
