उद्योगपर्व अध्याय १३३ — संजये मातृउपदेशः
Udyoga Parva Adhyaya 133 — A Mother’s Counsel to Saṃjaya
समृद्धिरसमृद्धिर्वा पूर्वेषां मम संजय । एवं विद्वान् युद्धमना भव मा प्रत्युपाहर
samṛddhir asamṛddhir vā pūrveṣāṁ mama sañjaya | evaṁ vidvān yuddhamanā bhava mā pratyupāhara, sañjaya ||
“无论此战于我诸先祖或于我自身，是利是害，善哉，三阇耶——既知征战乃刹帝利之法（达摩），当坚其心于战阵，勿得退却。”
पुत्र उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse emphasizes niṣkāma-like resolve in kṣatriya duty: one should commit to righteous action (here, battle as kṣatriya-dharma) without being swayed by calculations of personal or ancestral gain and loss, and without retreating once duty is understood.
A ‘son’ (putra) addresses Sañjaya, urging him to keep his mind fixed on the impending war and not to desist, framing the decision as grounded in the traditional duty of the warrior class rather than in considerations of advantage or harm.
