Adhyaya 32: Saṃjaya’s Return, Audience with Dhṛtarāṣṭra, and Ethical Admonition
न यो5भ्यसूयत्यनुकम्पते च न दुर्बल: प्रातिभाव्यं करोति । नात्याह किंचित् क्षमते विवादं सर्वत्र तादूगू लभते प्रशंसाम्
na yo 'bhyasūyaty anukampate ca na durbalaḥ prātibhāvyaṃ karoti | nātyāha kiñcit kṣamate vivādaṃ sarvatra tādṛg labhate praśaṃsām ||
جو حسد نہیں کرتا اور رحم دل ہے، جو خود ناتواں ہو کر بھی کسی کا ضامن نہیں بنتا، جو حد سے زیادہ نہیں بولتا اور جھگڑے کو تحمل سے سہہ لیتا ہے—ایسا شخص ہر جگہ ستائش پاتا ہے۔
