Shloka 6
Adhyāya 8 — Vidura’s Return and the Kaurava Counsel (Āraṇyaka-parva)
यथा हि विदुरः प्राज्ञो यथा भीष्मो यथा वयम् | यथा कृपश्च द्रोणश्व॒ तथा साधुर्भवानपि,जैसे ज्ञानी विदुर, भीष्म, मैं, कृपाचार्य तथा द्रोणाचार्य हैं, वैसे ही साधुस्वभाव तुम भी हो
yathā hi viduraḥ prājño yathā bhīṣmo yathā vayam | yathā kṛpaś ca droṇaś ca tathā sādhur bhavān api ||
Vì như Vidura bậc trí, như Bhīṣma, như chúng ta, và như Kṛpa cùng Droṇa—thì ngươi cũng là người có hạnh kiểm tốt. Ngươi cũng mang cùng một bản tính cao quý ấy.
