Shloka 37
धृतराष्ट्रस्य मूर्च्छा—व्यासोपदेशः
Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s Collapse and Vyāsa’s Counsel
नारदेन च भद्रं ते पूर्वमेव न संशय: । युधिष्टिरस्थ समितौ राजसूये निवेदितम्
nāradenaca bhadraṃ te pūrvameva na saṃśayaḥ | yudhiṣṭhirastha samitau rājasūye niveditam |
噢，蒙福者，毫无疑问：此事早已由那罗陀（Nārada）先前传达——在罗阇苏耶（Rājasūya）大祭之时，于由提施提罗（Yudhiṣṭhira）的大会中正式陈述过。
व्यास उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse emphasizes the authority of prior counsel and testimony: what is being stated now had already been formally communicated earlier by a revered sage. Ethically, it implies that leaders bear responsibility to remember and act upon wise warnings given in public, especially in matters affecting the realm.
Vyāsa addresses the listener and notes that Nārada had previously presented this information to Yudhiṣṭhira in the royal assembly during the Rājasūya sacrifice, indicating continuity of the account and reinforcing its credibility.
