Shloka 10
नारदेन धृतराष्ट्रगतिवर्णनम् | Nārada’s Account of Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s Future Course
कच्चित् ते न च मोहो5स्ति वनवासेन भारत । स्ववशे वन्यमन्नं वा उपवासोडपि वा भवेत्
kaccit te na ca moho 'sti vanavāsena bhārata | svavaśe vanyam annaṃ vā upavāso 'pi vā bhavet ||
毗舍摩波耶那说道：“噢，婆罗多啊，告诉我——居于林野，难道没有使你心生迷惘或沮丧吗？无论荒林所生之食是否由你掌握，抑或你竟须断食——这般林居可曾扰动你的心神？”

Educational Q&A
The verse tests inner steadiness: true dharma in hardship is maintaining clarity and self-mastery, whether one has adequate forest food or must accept fasting without mental collapse or delusion.
Vaiśampāyana poses a welfare-question to a ‘Bhārata’ figure living in forest conditions, asking whether the constraints of vanavāsa—uncertain food supply and possible fasting—have caused confusion or discouragement.
