उद्योगपर्व — गान्धारी-उपदेशः
Udyoga Parva — Gandhārī’s Counsel to Duryodhana
प्रत्यक्षमेतद् भवतां यद् वक्ष्यामि हित॑ं वच: । भवतामानुकूल्येन यदि रोचेत भारता:
pratyakṣam etad bhavatāṃ yad vakṣyāmi hitaṃ vacaḥ | bhavatām ānukūlyena yadi roceta bhāratāḥ ||
我将要说的，是有益的劝诫，而且你们自己也能直接验证。噢，婆罗多的后裔！若因合乎你们的心意而觉得可行，便可付诸实行。
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
Beneficial advice should be grounded in what can be directly verified (pratyakṣa) and should be adopted when it accords with one’s rightful disposition and welfare—emphasizing practical, experience-confirmed counsel rather than mere assertion.
Vaiśampāyana, as narrator, signals that he is about to deliver a piece of welfare-oriented counsel to the Bhāratas, stressing that it is evident from their own experience and inviting them to apply it if they find it agreeable and fitting.
