Kṛpa’s Counsel on Destiny and Human Effort
असमर्थ्य समारब्धो मूढत्वादविचिन्तित: । हितबुद्धीननादृत्य सम्मन्त्रयासाधुभि: सह
asamarthya samārabdho mūḍhatvād avicintitaḥ | hitabuddhīn anādṛtya sammantrayāsādhubhiḥ saha
کِرِپا نے کہا— “قدرت نہ رکھتے ہوئے بھی تم نے یہ کام شروع کر دیا—فریبِ نفس میں اور بے سوچے سمجھے۔ نیک رائے والوں کو نظرانداز کر کے تم نے بدکاروں کے ساتھ مل کر مشورہ کیا۔”
कृप उवाच
Educational Q&A
One should not begin grave actions without capacity and careful deliberation; ignoring well-wishers and consulting the wicked leads to unethical, self-destructive outcomes.
Kṛpa rebukes a listener (implicitly a Kaurava ally) for rashly initiating an act beyond his competence, done in delusion, after rejecting prudent advisers and instead taking counsel with immoral companions.
