Uddhava Recalls Kṛṣṇa’s Mission: Earth’s Burden, Royal Dharma, and the Prelude to Dvārakā’s Withdrawal
एवं सञ्चिन्त्य भगवान् स्वराज्ये स्थाप्य धर्मजम् । नन्दयामास सुहृद: साधूनां वर्त्म दर्शयन् ॥ १६ ॥
evaṁ sañcintya bhagavān sva-rājye sthāpya dharmajam nandayām āsa suhṛdaḥ sādhūnāṁ vartma darśayan
Suy niệm như vậy, Đức Thế Tôn Śrī Kṛṣṇa đã thiết lập Mahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira, con của Dharma, vào ngôi vị tối thượng cai quản thế gian, để nêu gương trị quốc theo con đường chính pháp và làm hoan hỷ các bậc thân hữu hiền thiện.
It means the Lord teaches by example—establishing dharma and guiding society so devotees can follow a clear, righteous path aligned with devotion and virtue.
Dharmaja refers to King Yudhiṣṭhira, renowned for righteousness, who is traditionally described as born from Dharma (Yama).
Choose principled leadership in your own sphere—act ethically, support virtuous people, and learn from saintly examples to keep one’s life aligned with dharma and devotion.
