नारदेन धृतराष्ट्रगतिवर्णनम् | Nārada’s Account of Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s Future Course
विदितं चापि राजेन्द्र विदुरस्य महात्मन: । गमनं विधिनानेन धर्मस्य सुमहात्मन:,'राजेन्द्र! महात्मा विदुरके, जो साक्षात् महामना धर्मके स्वरूप थे, इस विधिसे परलोकगमनका समाचार तो तुम्हें ज्ञात हुआ ही होगा
viditaṃ cāpi rājendra vidurasya mahātmanaḥ | gamanaṃ vidhinānena dharmasya sumahātmanaḥ ||
毗舍摩波耶那说道：“噢，诸王之最的王者啊，你必已知晓大心的毗度罗之事——他正依此所规定的方式离开了此世。因为毗度罗并非他人，正是达摩本身，心志崇高无比。”

The verse underscores Vidura’s ethical stature: he is identified with Dharma itself, implying that steadfast righteousness culminates in an orderly, sanctioned departure—an end aligned with cosmic law rather than mere mortality.
Vaiśampāyana reminds the king that Vidura’s passing is already known: Vidura, portrayed as Dharma incarnate, has departed for the next world by a particular, rule-governed manner previously described in the narrative.
