upahūtās tathā cānye droṇa-bhīṣma-kṛpādayaḥ dhṛtarāṣṭraḥ saha-suto viduraś ca mahā-matiḥ
O Hari, kabilang sa mga inanyayahan sina Droṇa, Bhīṣma, Kṛpa at iba pa; pati si Dhṛtarāṣṭra kasama ang kanyang mga anak, at si Vidura na dakila ang dunong. Ang mga brāhmaṇa, kṣatriya, vaiśya, at śūdra na sabik masaksihan ang yajña ay dumating doon. Tunay, lahat ng mga hari ay nagtipon kasama ang kani-kanilang mga kasama at tauhan.
FAQs
This verse states that elders and leaders like Droṇa, Bhīṣma, Kṛpa, Dhṛtarāṣṭra with his sons, and the wise Vidura were invited along with many others.
Vidura is highlighted as mahā-mati (greatly wise), indicating his exceptional dharmic insight and respected standing in the royal assembly despite political tensions.
Even amid rivalry, dharmic gatherings honor elders and the wise; seeking counsel from principled, clear-minded people (like Vidura) strengthens right decision-making.
