Shloka 20
भूमे: क्षमा च तेजश्न समग्र॑ सूर्यमण्डलात् । वायोर्बल प्राप्रुहि त्वं भूते भ्यक्षात्मसम्पदम्,तुम भूमिसे क्षमा, सूर्यमण्डलसे तेज, वायुसे बल तथा सम्पूर्ण भूतोंसे अपनी सम्पत्ति प्राप्त करो
bhūmeḥ kṣamā ca tejaś ca samagraṃ sūryamaṇḍalāt | vāyor balaṃ prāpnuhi tvaṃ bhūtebhyaś cātmasaṃpadam ||
毗度罗说：“从大地取忍耐与宽容；从圆满的太阳取光辉与澄明；从风取力量与劲健；又从一切众生之中，汇聚真我的财富——内在的资粮。如此向元素与万类学习，便能培育在逆境中行正道所需的内在力量。”

Educational Q&A
One should cultivate virtues by taking exemplary qualities from nature and life: patience from the earth, radiance and steadiness from the sun, strength from the wind, and inner wealth (virtue and character) by learning from all beings—so that one can uphold dharma under pressure.
In Sabha Parva, Vidura is delivering moral and political counsel, urging the listener to build inner resources and ethical resilience by observing the elements and living beings, a hallmark of Vidura’s nīti (statecraft and dharma instruction).
