Shloka 21

अगदं वो<चस्तु भद्रं वो द्रष्टास्मि पुनरागतान्‌ । आपरद्धर्मार्थकृच्छेषु सर्वकार्येषु वा पुन:

agadaṁ vo 'stu bhadraṁ vo draṣṭāsmi punarāgatān | āpaddharma-artha-kṛcchreṣu sarvakāryeṣu vā punaḥ ||

ودُر نے کہا— تمہیں کبھی بیماری نہ ہو؛ تم پر ہمیشہ خیر و برکت رہے۔ جب تم پھر لوٹو گے تو میں تمہیں دوبارہ دیکھوں گا۔ مصیبت کے وقت، جب دھرم اور ارتھ کے تقاضے دشوار اور باہم متصادم ہو جائیں، اور اسی طرح ہر کام میں بار بار—اپنے حقیقی مناسب فرض کے مطابق ہی عمل کرنا۔

the Pāṇḍavas (addressed collectively)

Educational Q&A

Vidura blesses the exiles and stresses discernment of one’s proper duty, especially in emergencies where dharma and practical necessity (artha) come into tension; right action must be chosen repeatedly in every undertaking.

As the Pāṇḍavas depart for the forest after the dice disaster, Vidura offers a farewell blessing and a final piece of guidance: remain steadfast in appropriate conduct during hardship and in all future affairs.
