Udyoga-parva Adhyāya 30: Sañjaya’s Departure and Yudhiṣṭhira’s Commission of Greetings
'शत्रुदमन नरेश! जब वे बालक थे, तब आपकी ही कृपासे उन्हें राज्य मिला था। पहले उन्हें राज्यपर बिठाकर अब अपने ही आगे उन्हें नष्ट होते देख उपेक्षा न कीजिये” ।।
sarvam apy etad ekasya nālaṃ saṃjaya kasyacit | tāta saṃhatya jīvāmo dviṣatāṃ mā vaśaṃ gamaḥ ||
“O manlulupig ng kaaway, O Hari! Noong sila’y mga bata pa, sa iyong biyaya nila natamo ang kaharian. Iupo mo muna sila nang matatag sa paghahari, at huwag mong pabayaang masawi sila sa harap mo.” At, O Sañjaya, sabihin mo rin: “Ama, ang buong kahariang ito’y hindi para maging sapat sa iisang tao lamang. Mamuhay tayong magkakasama sa pagkakaisa at magtaguyod ng buhay sa kapayapaan; huwag kang kumilos nang salungat at mahulog sa kapangyarihan ng mga kaaway.”

Educational Q&A
Power and prosperity should not be monopolized; unity and shared governance prevent ruin. Yudhiṣṭhira urges restraint, cooperation, and avoidance of choices that hand advantage to hostile forces.
In the Udyoga Parva’s peace-effort context, Yudhiṣṭhira instructs Sañjaya to convey a conciliatory message: the realm can sustain many, so the parties should live together rather than provoke conflict that would place them at the mercy of enemies.
