Defects of Anger and the Praise of Forbearance

अन्यथैव हि मन्यन्ते पुरुषास्तानि तानि च । अन्यथैव प्रभुस्तानि करोति विकरोति च,लोग भिन्न-भिन्न वस्तुओंको भिन्न-भिन्न रूपोंमें मानते हैं; परंतु शक्तिशाली परमेश्वर उन्हें और ही रूपमें बनाते और बिगाड़ते हैं

anyathaiva hi manyante puruṣās tāni tāni ca | anyathaiva prabhus tāni karoti vikaroti ca ||

మనుష్యులు వాటి గురించి తమ తమ విధాలుగా భావిస్తారు; కానీ సర్వశక్తిమంతుడైన ప్రభువు వాటిని వేరే విధంగా సృష్టించి, మరల వేరే విధంగా మార్చి చెదరగొడతాడు।

युधिछिर उवाच

युधिष्ठिर (Yudhiṣṭhira)
प्रभु (the Lord / sovereign power)

Educational Q&A

Human beings interpret events and objects according to their limited perspectives, but the ultimate shaping and reshaping of outcomes lies with the supreme power (prabhu). The ethical implication is humility in judgment and steadiness in dharma amid change.

Yudhiṣṭhira reflects on how people form differing opinions about the same realities, while a higher sovereign power determines their actual formation and transformation—framing the surrounding discussion in Vana Parva about suffering, causality, and the governance of events.
