द्वैपायनह्रदे दुर्योधनान्वेषणम् / The Search for Duryodhana at Dvaipāyana Lake
अपश्यत महाप्राज्ञं विदुरं साश्रुलोचनम्
apaśyata mahāprājñaṃ viduraṃ sāśrulocanam
Wika ni Sañjaya: Nasaksihan niya si Vidura, ang lubhang marunong, na may mga matang punô ng luha—larawan ng dalamhati at pagdurusang moral sa gitna ng pagkawasak na dulot ng digmaan.

True wisdom (prajñā) does not harden the heart; it deepens moral sensitivity. Vidura’s tears suggest that dharmic insight includes compassion and sorrow at adharma’s consequences, especially the devastation of kin-slaying war.
In Sañjaya’s report, someone (contextually, a principal figure present in the scene) beholds Vidura, famed for prudent counsel, now overwhelmed with grief—signaling the emotional and ethical fallout surrounding the Kuru catastrophe.
