Udyoga-parva Adhyāya 64: Arjuna’s Instruction to Sanjaya
Message to the Kuru Assembly
अर्जुनस्तत् तथाकार्षीत् कि पुनः सर्व एव ते । स भ्रातृनभिजानीहि वृत्त्या त॑ प्रतिपादय
arjunas tat tathākārṣīt ki punaḥ sarva eva te | sa bhrātṝn abhijānīhi vṛttyā tān pratipādaya ||
毗度罗说道：“阿周那已将那件事做得恰如其分——那么，这些兄弟若合而为一，又有什么做不到的呢？因此，当认般度五子为你自己的兄弟；并将他们应得的生计与产业归还于他们，以此增进与他们的手足之情。”

Educational Q&A
Vidura urges ethical statecraft: acknowledge the Pāṇḍavas as family and avert conflict by restoring their rightful entitlement and means of livelihood; justice and kinship must override envy and factionalism.
In the Udyoga Parva’s peace-counsel context, Vidura argues from Arjuna’s proven capability: if one brother could achieve such a feat, the united brothers are even more formidable—so the wise course is reconciliation through granting the Pāṇḍavas their due.
