Resolve for the Mace Duel
न हि संतर्जना तेन श्रुतपूर्वा कथठ्चन । राजभावेन मान्यश्व सर्वलोकस्य सो5भवत्,उसने पहले कभी किसी तरह ऐसी फटकार नहीं सुनी थी; क्योंकि राजा होनेके कारण वह सब लोगोंके सम्मानका पात्र था
na hi santarjanā tena śrutapūrvā kathaṃcana | rājabhāvena mānyaś ca sarvalokasya so 'bhavat ||
他从未以任何方式听过这样的斥责；因为凭借王者之位，他一向是举世所敬、被视为当受尊荣之人。
युधिछिर उवाच
Educational Q&A
Public honor attached to kingship can insulate a ruler from frank criticism; therefore, when a rebuke is finally spoken, it carries moral force and signals a serious ethical or strategic concern. The verse highlights the responsibility to speak truth firmly when needed, and the humility required to receive it.
Yudhiṣṭhira remarks that the person being discussed had never previously been subjected to such a reprimand, because his royal status made him universally respected. The statement frames the rebuke as exceptional and socially significant.
