अध्याय ३९: विदुरेण धृतराष्ट्राय नीत्युपदेशः
Timely Counsel, Association, and Kin-Duty
महाबलान् पश्य महानुभावान् प्रशास्य भूमिं धनधान्यपूर्णाम् । राज्यानि हित्वा विपुलांश्व भोगान् गतान् नरेन्द्रान् वशमन्तकस्य,धन-धान्यादिसे परिपूर्ण पृथ्वीका शासन करके अन्तमें समस्त राज्य और विपुल भोगोंको यहीं छोड़कर यमराजके वशमें गये हुए बड़े-बड़े बलवान् एवं महानुभाव राजाओंकी ओर दृष्टि डालिये
mahābalān paśya mahānubhāvān praśāsya bhūmiṁ dhanadhānyapūrṇām | rājyāni hitvā vipulāṁś ca bhogān gatān narendrān vaśam antakasya ||
且看那些力大名显的诸王：他们曾统御财富与谷粮充盈之地，然而终究也在此处舍下王国与丰盛享乐，归于安多迦（Antaka，死神）之权下。

Educational Q&A
Even the most powerful rulers, after enjoying wealth, grain, sovereignty, and pleasures, must finally submit to Death; therefore one should curb pride, reduce attachment to power and luxury, and act with dharma-aware humility.
Vidura urges his listener to reflect on the example of past great kings: despite ruling prosperous realms, they left everything behind and went under Death’s control—an admonition meant to sober the mind during the tense political crisis of the Udyoga Parva.
