vaiśampāyana uvāca | jānanti kuravaḥ sarve yathoktāḥ kurusaṃsadi | duḥśāsanena kaunteyāḥ pravrajantaḥ paraṃtapāḥ |
ในสภากุรุ เมื่อเหล่าปาณฑพผู้เป็นโอรสแห่งกุนตี ผู้ทำให้ศัตรูร้อนรุ่ม กำลังออกเดินทางสู่การเนรเทศในป่า ถ้อยคำอันแข็งกร้าวที่ทุศาสนะกล่าวต่อพวกเขานั้น เหล่ากุรุทั้งปวงล้วนรู้ชัด
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse highlights ethical accountability in public life: when cruelty and injustice are committed in an open court, the entire assembly becomes witness to the wrong. Knowing what was said and done implies moral awareness, and silence or complicity in such moments becomes part of the adharma that fuels later conflict.
Vaiśampāyana recalls that the Kurus all remember the severe, insulting remarks Duḥśāsana made in the Kuru court when the Pāṇḍavas were being driven to depart for the forest in exile. This remembrance frames the background of grievance and the moral stain on the Kaurava court.
