1. Dhṛtarāṣṭra said: "O respected one (tāta), since you are pure and skilled in matters of natural law (dharma) and material prosperity (artha), please tell us what action you deem appropriate for me, who remains awake and consumed by anguish."
त्वं मां यथावद्विदुर प्रशाधि प्रज्ञापूर्वं सर्वमजातशत्रोः ।
यन्मन्यसे पथ्यमदीनसत्त्व श्रेयस्करं ब्रूहि तद्वै कुरूणाम् ॥२॥

prajñāpūrvam sarvam ajātaśatroḥ
yat manyase pathyam adīnasattva
śreyaskaram brūhi tat vai kurūṇām
2. O Vidura, O noble-minded one (adīnasattva), you should instruct me thoroughly and wisely regarding all matters concerning Ajātaśatru. Whatever you consider beneficial and conducive to the welfare of the Kurus, please indeed tell me that.
पापाशङ्की पापमेवानुपश्यन्पृच्छामि त्वां व्याकुलेनात्मनाहम् ।

kave tat me brūhi sarvam yathāvat
manīṣitam sarvam ajātaśatroḥ
3. I, fearing sin and constantly perceiving only wrongdoing, ask you with an agitated mind (ātman). O sage, please tell me accurately everything that is desired by the one who has no enemies (ajātaśatru).

vacaḥ śreyaskaram dharmyam bruvataḥ tat nibodha me
5. Therefore, O King, desiring welfare for the Kurus, I will speak to you words that are beneficial and in accordance with natural law (dharma). As I speak, please understand this from me.

6. mithyopetāni karmāṇi sidhyeyuḥ yāni bhārata
anupāyaprayuktāni mā sma teṣu manaḥ kṛthāḥ
6. O Bhārata, do not fix your mind on those actions (karma) which, though perhaps appearing to succeed, are in fact ill-conceived, wrongly executed, and performed without proper means or strategy.

7. tathā eva yogavihitam na sidhyet karma yat nṛpa
upāyayuktam medhāvī na tatra glapayet manaḥ
7. O king, even an action (karma) performed according to the proper method (yoga) may not succeed. An intelligent person should not distress their mind over that, even when it was endowed with the right means.

8. anubandhān avekṣeta sānubandheṣu karmasu
saṃpradhārya ca kurvīta na vegena samācaret
8. In actions (karma) that involve consequences, one should carefully consider those consequences. After thorough deliberation, one should act, and not proceed impulsively.

utthānam ātmanaḥ ca eva dhīraḥ kurvīta vā na vā
9. A steadfast person (dhīraḥ), having thoroughly considered the consequences and results of actions (karma), and also their own effort (ātman), should then either undertake it or not.

yuktaḥ dharmārthayoḥ jñāne saḥ rājyam adhigacchati
11. Indeed, he who duly considers these established principles, and who is well-versed in the knowledge concerning both natural law (dharma) and material prosperity, attains sovereignty.

श्रियं ह्यविनयो हन्ति जरा रूपमिवोत्तमम् ॥१२॥

śriyaṁ hyavinayo hanti jarā rūpamivottamam.
12. na rājyam prāptam iti eva vartitavyam asaṃpratam
| śriyam hi avinayaḥ hanti jarā rūpam iva uttamam
12. One should not behave improperly merely because one has attained sovereignty. Indeed, arrogance destroys prosperity, just as old age ravages excellent beauty.

रूपाभिपाती ग्रसते नानुबन्धमवेक्षते ॥१३॥
13. bhakṣyottamapraticchannaṁ matsyo baḍiśamāyasam ,

tadvat arthān manuṣyebhyaḥ ādadhyāt avihimsayā

पुष्पं पुष्पं विचिन्वीत मूलच्छेदं न कारयेत् ।
मालाकार इवारामे न यथाङ्गारकारकः ॥१८॥

18. puṣpam puṣpam vicinvīta mūlacchedam na kārayet
mālākāraḥ iva ārāme na yathā aṅgārakārakaḥ

19. kim nu me syāt idam kṛtvā kim nu me syāt akurvataḥ
iti karmāṇi saṃcintya kuryāt vā puruṣaḥ na vā
19. What would be the outcome for me if I were to do this, and what would be the outcome for me if I were not to do it? Reflecting in this manner upon actions (karma), a person should decide whether to perform them or not.

prasādayati lokaṁ yaḥ taṁ loko'nuprasīdati.
23. cakṣuṣā manasā vācā karmaṇā ca caturvidham
prasādayati lokam yaḥ tam lokaḥ anuprasīdati
23. The one who pleases the people in four ways – through his sight, mind, speech, and actions (karma) – is, in turn, pleased by the world.

antyeṣu api hi jātānām vṛttam eva viśiṣyate

manyante santam ātmanam asantam api viśrutam

asatām ca gatiḥ santaḥ na tu asantaḥ satām gatiḥ
44. The virtuous (santaḥ) are the refuge (gatiḥ) for those who possess self-knowledge (ātmavatām). Indeed, the virtuous alone are the refuge for other virtuous individuals. Moreover, the virtuous are also a refuge for the wicked (asatām), but the wicked are certainly not a refuge for the virtuous.

adhvā jitaḥ yānavatā sarvam śīlavatā jitam
45. An assembly (sabhā) is won by a well-dressed person (vastravatā). All directions (samāśā) are conquered by someone who possesses cattle (gomatā). The road (adhvā) is overcome by one who has a vehicle (yānavatā). But everything (sarvam) is ultimately conquered by one who has good moral conduct (śīlavatā).

na tasya jīvitena arthaḥ na dhanena na bandhubhiḥ
46. Good moral conduct (śīlam) is the most important quality in a person (puruṣe). If that (conduct) is destroyed for someone in this world (iha), then for such a person, there is no value (arthaḥ) in life (jīvitena), nor in wealth (dhanena), nor in relatives (bandhubhiḥ).

48. sampannataram eva annam daridrāḥ bhuñjate sadā
kṣut svādutām janayati sā ca āḍhyeṣu sudurlabhā

uttamānām tu martyānām avamānāt param bhayam
50. For those of the lowest class, fear comes from unemployment or lack of sustenance. For the middle class, fear stems from death. But for the best among mortals, the ultimate fear is from dishonor.

aiśvaryamadamatto hi nāpatitvā vibudhyate.
51. aiśvaryamadapāpiṣṭhāḥ madāḥ pānamadādayaḥ
aiśvaryamadamattaḥ hi na āpatitvā vibudhyate
51. The intoxications stemming from power and wealth are the most sinful, even more so than intoxications like those from drinking. Indeed, one who is intoxicated by the arrogance of power does not truly awaken until they have experienced a downfall.

52. This world, or humanity, is tormented by the uncontrolled senses (indriyas) as they engage with sense objects, just as constellations are oppressed by planets.

āpadaḥ tasya vardhante śuklapakṣaḥ iva uḍurāṭ

niyantā indriyāṇi asya ca aśvāḥ
taiḥ apramattaḥ kuśalaḥ sadaśvaiḥ
dāntaiḥ sukham yāti rathī iva dhīraḥ
57. O king, the body is the chariot of the cosmic person (puruṣa), the self (ātman) is the charioteer, and his senses are the horses. With those good, disciplined horses, a vigilant and skillful person, like a wise charioteer, attains happiness.
एतान्यनिगृहीतानि व्यापादयितुमप्यलम् ।

avidheyā ivādāntā hayāḥ pathi kusārathim.
58. etāni anigṛhītāni vyāpādayitum api alam
avidheyāḥ iva adāntāḥ hayāḥ pathi kusārathim
58. These (senses), if uncontrolled, are capable of destroying (a person), just as untamed and unmanageable horses on the road are capable of destroying a bad charioteer.

इन्द्रियैः प्रसृतो बालः सुदुःखं मन्यते सुखम् ॥५९॥

indriyāṇām anaiśvaryāt aiśvaryāt bhraśyate hi saḥ

62. ātmanā ātmānam anvicchet manobuddhīndriyaiḥ yataiḥ
ātmā eva hi ātmanaḥ bandhuḥ ātmā eva ripuḥ ātmanaḥ
62. One should seek one's higher self (ātman) by one's own efforts, with a controlled mind, intellect, and senses. For indeed, one's self (ātman) is one's only friend, and one's self (ātman) is also one's only enemy.

कामश्च राजन्क्रोधश्च तौ प्रज्ञानं विलुम्पतः ॥६३॥

kāmaḥ ca rājan krodhaḥ ca tau prajñānam vilumpataḥ

indriyāṇām anīśatvāt rājānaḥ rājyavibhramaiḥ
66. Indeed, wicked people (durātman) are observed being destroyed by their own actions (karma). Similarly, kings, due to their lack of control over their senses (indriyas), are ruined by the collapse of their kingdoms.

ca eva guptā dānam ca na etāni antyeṣu bhārata
70. O Bhārata, self-knowledge (ātmajñāna), effortlessness, forbearance, steadfastness in one's constitution (dharma), along with guarded speech and charity (dāna) – these qualities are never found among the lowest of people.

śuśrūṣā tu balam strīṇām kṣamā guṇavatām balam

अर्थवच्च विचित्रं च न शक्यं बहु भाषितुम् ॥७३॥

73. vāk-saṃyamaḥ hi nṛpate sudurṣkaratamaḥ mataḥ
arthavat ca vicitram ca na śakyam bahu bhāṣitum

vākśalyaḥ tu na nirhartuṃ śakyaḥ hṛdiśayaḥ hi saḥ
76. Barbed arrows, tube-arrows, and iron arrows can be extracted from the body. But the verbal dart (vākśalya), indeed, cannot be removed, for it lies in the heart.
वाक्सायका वदनान्निष्पतन्ति यैराहतः शोचति रात्र्यहानि ।
परस्य नामर्मसु ते पतन्ति तान्पण्डितो नावसृजेत्परेषु ॥७७॥

parasya na amarmasu te patanti
tān paṇḍitaḥ na avasṛjet pareṣu
77. Word-arrows fly out from the mouth; by them, one who is struck grieves night and day. Those (arrows) penetrate the vital spots (marman) of another. A wise person (paṇḍita) should not release them upon others.

tejasā prajñayā ca eva yuktaḥ dharmārthatattvavit
82. He (Yudhishthira) is exceedingly superior to all your sons, favored by destiny, endowed with radiance (tejas) and wisdom, and he is a knower of the true nature of natural law (dharma) and material well-being (artha).
