Vyāsa’s Inquiry into Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s Tapas and the Identification of Vidura with Dharma
स चास्य सम्यड्मेधावी प्रत्यपद्यत वीर्यवान् । इसके बाद राजा धृतराष्ट्रने बलवानोंमें श्रेष्ठ भीमसेनको सान्त्वना दी। बुद्धिमान् एवं पराक्रमी भीमसेनने भी उनकी बातोंको यथार्थरूपसे ग्रहण किया--हृदयसे स्वीकार किया
sa cāsya samyaṅ-medhāvī pratyapadyata vīryavān |
而他——明达而有智、强健而具勇——确实领受了持国（Dhṛtarāṣṭra）之言。其后，持国王抚慰了毗摩（Bhīmasena），这位强者之冠；毗摩聪慧而英勇，也如实受纳那番劝诫，铭刻于心。此段彰显一种伦理的转向：由悲痛与对立，因敬受长者教诲而趋向和解。

Even the strongest must be guided by discernment: accepting an elder’s consoling counsel with sincerity helps transform post-war bitterness into restraint and reconciliation, aligning conduct with dharma.
Dhṛtarāṣṭra offers consolation to Bhīma, and Bhīma—described as both wise and heroic—accepts the king’s words wholeheartedly, indicating a softening of tensions and a move toward peace within the family.
