Adhyāya 128 — Proposal to Restrain Keśava; Sātyaki’s Warning and Vidura–Dhṛtarāṣṭra Counsel

याभ्यां हि देवा: स्वर्यातुः स्वर्गस्य पिदधुर्मुखम्‌ । बिभ्यतो5नुपरागस्य कामक्रोधौ सम वर्धिती

yābhyāṃ hi devāḥ svaryātuḥ svargasya pidadhur mukham | bibhyato 'nuparāgasya kāmakrodhau sama-vardhitī ||

Vaiśampāyana nói: «Chính bởi hai thứ ấy—dục vọng và sân hận—mà ngay cả chư thiên, dẫu đi lại trong cõi trời, cũng phải khép cửa thiên đường. Với người sợ mất tự chủ và sợ vết nhơ của ái nhiễm, đôi sức mạnh này, khi được nuôi lớn ngang nhau, sẽ trở thành nguyên nhân suy vong».

Educational Q&A

Desire (kāma) and anger (krodha), when cultivated together, overpower discernment and can bar even the path to heaven; therefore restraint and vigilance against passion are essential to dharma.

Vaiśaṃpāyana delivers a moral observation within the Udyoga Parva’s counsel-filled context: he highlights how destructive impulses like desire and anger can ruin even exalted beings, underscoring the need for self-mastery amid rising conflict.
