कुरुक्षेत्रे सेनानिवेशवृत्तान्तः — Dhṛtarāṣṭra Questions Saṃjaya on the Deployed Armies
उवाच वदतां श्रेष्ठ: सान्त्वपूर्वमिदं वच: । वैशम्पायनजीने कहा--राजन्! आपद्धर्मके विषयमें कुशल
uvāca vadatāṁ śreṣṭhaḥ sāntvapūrvam idaṁ vacaḥ |
毗湿摩波耶那说道：当时，那位言辞最为卓绝者以慰藉人心、安定心神之语对众人开口。就在那一刻，善于在危难之时辨明法（Dharma）的尤提士提罗召集诸弟兄，并请来永恒的主瓦苏德瓦（Vāsudeva），以平和而调解的语气发言，使他们为即将到来的艰难伦理抉择预作准备。
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
Even when facing imminent conflict, a leader grounded in dharma should begin with sāntva—calming, conciliatory speech—so that decisions are made from steadiness and ethical clarity rather than agitation or anger, especially in the domain of āpaddharma (ethics under crisis).
Vaiśampāyana narrates that Yudhiṣṭhira, recognized as wise and skilled in crisis-ethics, gathers his brothers and Vāsudeva (Kṛṣṇa) and begins to speak in a consoling tone, setting the stage for counsel and deliberation in the tense pre-war context of the Udyoga Parva.
