Kṣānti–Tejas Viveka: Prahlāda’s Instruction to Bali
Draupadī’s Application
एतान् दोषान् प्रपश्यद्धिर्जित: क्रोधो मनीषिभि: । इच्छद्धि: परमं श्रेय इह चामुत्र चोत्तमम्,इन दोषोंको देखनेवाले मनस्वी पुरुषोंने, जो इहलोक और परलोकमें भी परम उत्तम कल्याणकी इच्छा रखते हैं, क्रोधको जीत लिया है
etān doṣān prapaśyadbhir jitaḥ krodho manīṣibhiḥ | icchadbhir paramaṃ śreya iha cāmutra cottamam ||
Sinabi ni Yudhiṣṭhira: “Ang mga pantas at mapagnilay, na malinaw na nakikita ang mga kapinsalaang ito, ay nagtagumpay laban sa galit—sapagkat hinahangad nila ang pinakamataas na kabutihan, ang pinakadakilang kapakanan sa daigdig na ito at sa kabilang-buhay.”
युधिछिर उवाच
Educational Q&A
Anger is a recognized moral fault; those who truly discern its harms and aim for the highest welfare—both worldly and otherworldly—must conquer it through wisdom and self-restraint.
In the Vana Parva dialogue context, Yudhiṣṭhira articulates a dharma-based reflection: the wise, seeking lasting good, overcome anger after recognizing its defects.
