三阇耶说道:“大王,在那俱罗与娑诃提婆,以及般度之子毗摩塞那合力将你的军队彻底毁灭之前,我以为最善者,是在你与般阇婆诸英雄之间重建善意与和解。愿此战随我之命而终;与般阇婆议和吧。”

Educational Q&A

The verse frames a pragmatic and ethical counsel: seek reconciliation before irreversible harm occurs. It highlights the responsibility of rulers to prevent total devastation and to choose peace when the cost of war becomes morally and politically catastrophic.

Sañjaya, reporting to the blind king (implicitly Dhṛtarāṣṭra), warns that the Pāṇḍava warriors—specifically Nakula, Sahadeva, and Bhīma—are capable of destroying the king’s forces. He urges the king to establish goodwill and make peace with the Pāṇḍavas before the army is annihilated.
