Rājasūyābhiṣeka-darśana: Duryodhana’s Observation of the Consecration
धृतराष्ट उवाच क्षत्त: पुत्रेषु पुत्रमें कलहो न भविष्यति । यदि देवा: प्रसादं न: करिष्यन्ति न संशय:
dhṛtarāṣṭra uvāca | kṣattaḥ putreṣu putraṁ me kalaho na bhaviṣyati | yadi devāḥ prasādaṁ naḥ kariṣyanti na saṁśayaḥ ||
Sinabi ni Dhṛtarāṣṭra: O Kṣattṛ (Vidura), hindi magkakaroon ng alitan sa pagitan ng aking mga anak at ng mga anak ni Pāṇḍu—kung pagkakalooban tayo ng mga diyos ng kanilang biyaya; walang pag-aalinlangan dito.
धृतराष्ट उवाच
Educational Q&A
Dhṛtarāṣṭra frames peace as dependent on divine favor, implying that harmony requires forces beyond mere human intention; ethically, it also hints at the need for humility and right conduct to merit such grace, rather than relying on wishful hope while ignoring human responsibility.
In conversation with Vidura, Dhṛtarāṣṭra expresses the hope that no conflict will arise between his sons and the Pāṇḍavas, asserting that if the gods are favorable, discord will not occur.
