Keśava-vākya aftermath
त्वयापि प्रतिपत्तव्यं तथैव भरतर्षभ | स्वेषु बन्धुषु मुख्येषु मा मन्युवशमन्वगा:,“भरतश्रेष्ठ! तुम्हें भी अपने उन श्रेष्ठ बन्धुओंके प्रति वैसा ही बर्ताव करना चाहिये। तुम क्रोधके वशीभूत न होओ
tvayāpi pratipattavyaṃ tathaiva bharatarṣabha | sveṣu bandhuṣu mukhyeṣu mā manyuvaśam anvagāḥ ||
Vaiśampāyana nói: “Hỡi bậc tráng kiện nhất trong dòng Bharata, ngươi cũng phải cư xử đúng như thế đối với những thân tộc hàng đầu của mình. Chớ để cơn giận lôi kéo, chi phối.”
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
One should uphold proper conduct toward one’s own foremost relatives and not allow anger to dictate decisions; ethical restraint is presented as a necessary discipline, especially in tense political-family conflicts.
In Vaiśampāyana’s narration, a Bharata prince is being admonished to treat his principal kinsmen appropriately and to avoid acting under the impulse of wrath—guidance characteristic of the Udyoga Parva’s efforts to restrain escalation and preserve dharma amid impending war.
