Udyoga-parva Adhyāya 71 — Kṣatra-dharma Counsel, Public Legitimacy, and Mobilization
मोचयेयं मृत्युपाशात् संरब्धान् कुरुसृंजयान् । पाण्डवान् धार्तराष्ट्रांक्ष सर्वां च पृथिवीमिमाम्
mocayeyam mṛtyupāśāt saṃrabdhān kurusṛñjayān | pāṇḍavān dhārtarāṣṭrāṃś ca sarvāṃ ca pṛthivīm imām ||
Wika ni Vaiśampāyana: “Sa gayon, palalayain ko mula sa silo ng kamatayan ang mga Kurū at Sṛñjaya na nag-aalab sa poot, ang mga Pāṇḍava at ang mga anak ni Dhṛtarāṣṭra—at maging ang buong daigdig na ito.”
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
Unchecked anger (saṃrambha) leads communities toward collective ruin; therefore, preventing war is portrayed as an act of dharma that ‘frees’ not only individuals but the whole world from the death-snare.
In the Udyoga Parva’s pre-war diplomacy context, the narrator reports a resolve/claim that if reconciliation succeeds, the speaker would effectively save the enraged factions—Kurus, Sṛñjayas, Pāṇḍavas, and Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s sons—and even the earth itself from the catastrophe of war.
