Udyoga Parva, Adhyāya 72 — Bhīmasena’s counsel on conciliation and Duryodhana’s disposition
अहं तु सर्वलोकस्य गत्वा छेत्स्यामि संशयम् । येषामस्ति द्विधाभावो राजन् दुर्योधन प्रति,राजन! दुर्योधनके सम्बन्धमें जिन लोगोंका मन दुविधामें है--जो लोग उसके अच्छे या बुरे होनेका निर्णय नहीं कर सके हैं, उन सब लोगोंका संदेह मैं वहाँ जाकर दूर कर दूँगा
ahaṁ tu sarvalokasya gatvā chetsyāmi saṁśayam | yeṣām asti dvidhābhāvo rājan duryodhana prati ||
โอ้พระราชา ผู้ใดมีใจลังเลเกี่ยวกับดุริโยธนะ ข้าพเจ้าจะไปด้วยตนเองและขจัดความสงสัยของคนทั้งปวงนั้นให้สิ้น
युधिछिर उवाच
A leader committed to dharma should actively remove public confusion and moral ambivalence, enabling clear discernment of right and wrong—especially when society is divided about a powerful figure’s conduct.
In the tense lead-up to war, Yudhiṣṭhira declares his intention to go personally and resolve the doubts of those who are undecided about Duryodhana, aiming to clarify perceptions and guide judgment before irreversible conflict.
