Ārjava, Satya, and the Virocana–Sudhanvan Exemplum
Udyoga-parva 35
न वै तेषां स्वदते पथ्यमुक्तं योगक्षेम॑ कल्पते नैव तेषाम् । भिन्नानां वै मनुजेन्द्र परायणं न विद्यते किंचिदन््यद् विनाशात्
na vai teṣāṃ svadate pathyam uktaṃ yogakṣemaṃ kalpate naiva teṣām | bhinnānāṃ vai manujendra parāyaṇaṃ na vidyate kiṃcid anyad vināśāt ||
毗度罗说道：“对那样的人，良善的忠告丝毫不能使其欢喜；对他们而言，安稳与福祉也都无法牢固建立。噢，人中之主！凡被党争与相互仇怨所分裂者，除毁灭之外，别无终局之途。”

Those who reject wholesome advice and remain divided by faction cannot secure welfare (yogakṣema); persistent disunity and hostility lead inevitably to ruin.
In Udyoga Parva, Vidura continues his moral counsel to the king (Dhṛtarāṣṭra), warning that the Kuru court’s factional mindset—especially resistance to beneficial guidance—undermines peace and makes destruction the only outcome.
