Vidura

Bhārata (Kuru lineage; addressed to Dhṛtarāṣṭra)

Educational Q&A

Vidura lists hallmark virtues of a noble character—self-knowledge, calm restraint, endurance, unwavering dharma, disciplined speech, and generosity—and states that such qualities do not arise in ignoble or base-minded persons.

In Udyoga Parva, Vidura counsels the Kuru king (addressed as Bhārata) with ethical instruction (nīti) as tensions move toward war, emphasizing inner discipline and moral qualities that should guide rulership and decision-making.
