Udyoga-parva Adhyāya 34 — Vidura’s Counsel on Deliberation, Speech-Discipline, and Dharmic Kingship
आर्ज॑वं प्रतिपद्यस्व पुत्रेषु सततं विभो । इह कीर्ति परां प्राप्य प्रेत्य स्वर्गमवाप्स्यसि,विभो! आप अपने पुत्र कौरव, पाण्डव दोनोंके साथ (समानरूपसे) कोमलताका बर्ताव कीजिये। ऐसा करनेसे इस लोकमें महान् सुयश प्राप्त करके मरनेके पश्चात् लोकमें आप स्वर्गलोकमें जायँगे
ārjavaṁ pratipadyasva putreṣu satataṁ vibho | iha kīrtiṁ parāṁ prāpya pretya svargam avāpsyasi ||
毗度罗劝谏国王：“噢，至尊者啊，当在诸子之间恒常奉行坦直与不偏不倚的公正——无论俱卢族（Kaurava）还是般度族（Pāṇḍava）。若你始终以此正行处世，今生必得盛名，身后亦将升至天界。”

Educational Q&A
Maintain ārjava (honest, straight conduct) and consistent impartiality toward all one’s children; such dharmic fairness brings worldly good fame (kīrti) and posthumous spiritual reward (svarga).
In Udyoga Parva, Vidura counsels King Dhṛtarāṣṭra during the tense pre-war negotiations, urging him to treat both Kauravas and Pāṇḍavas with equal, gentle fairness so that conflict may be averted and dharma upheld.
