About this listen

Sanjay has returned to Hastinapur but refuses to deliver the Pandavas' message until the next morning, leaving King Dhritarashtra in agonizing suspense. Tormented by guilt and Sanjaya’s harsh private rebuke, the sleepless King summons Vidhur for counsel. This episode covers the famous Vidhur Niti, where Vidhur outlines the path of virtue to calm the King's restless mind, followed by the arrival of Sage Sanatsujat, who reveals that death is merely negligence (Pramada) and teaches the secret of conquering death through spiritual wisdom.
