Dharma-śaṅkā-nivāraṇa: Yudhiṣṭhira’s Response on Karma-Phala and Trust in Dharma
उत्थानयुक्त: सततं परेषामन्तरैषणे । आनृण्यमाप्रोति नर: परस्यात्मन एव च,शत्रुओंके छिद्रका अन्वेषण करनेके लिये सदा प्रयत्नशील रहे। ऐसा करनेसे वह अपनी और दूसरे लोगोंकी दृष्टिमें भी निर्दोष होता है
utthānayuktaḥ satataṃ pareṣām antaraiṣaṇe | ānṛṇyam āpnoti naraḥ parasya ātman eva ca ||
玉提湿陀罗说道：“人当恒常奋发而警醒，探寻对手的破绽与弱点。以此持续的戒备与努力，他便能免于责难——既在他人眼中，也在自身良知之前——因为他已尽了法（dharma）所要求的本分。”

Educational Q&A
One should be consistently diligent and strategically alert—especially in assessing an opponent’s weaknesses—so that one can say, before society and one’s own conscience, that one has fulfilled one’s duty without negligence.
In the Vana Parva’s counsel-oriented discourse, Yudhiṣṭhira articulates a principle of prudent conduct for a leader: sustained effort and watchfulness in dealing with adversaries, framed as a dharmic obligation rather than mere aggression.
