Shloka 31
विदुरश्चापि तामार्ता कुन्तीमाश्चास्य हेतुभि: । प्रावेशयद् गृहं क्षत्ता स्वयमार्ततर: शनै:
viduraś cāpi tām ārtāṃ kuntīm āśvāsya hetubhiḥ | prāveśayad gṛhaṃ kṣattā svayam ārtataraḥ śanaiḥ ||
Wika ni Vaiśampāyana: Si Vidura man, nang makita si Kuntī na lugmok sa dalamhati, ay umaliw sa kanya sa maraming salitang may katuwiran at marahang inakay papasok sa kanyang bahay. Ngunit siya mismo’y higit na nabibigatan, dahan-dahang kumikilos sa bigat ng pighati.

Educational Q&A
Even the wise and dutiful may be inwardly broken by injustice, yet dharma requires compassionate action: Vidura restrains his own grief to steady Kuntī through reasoned consolation and protective care.
After a calamity that leaves Kuntī distressed, Vidura approaches her, comforts her with various arguments, and slowly escorts her into his home—though he himself is suffering even more.
