Kṛṣṇa–Arjuna Saṃvāda in Indraprastha: Consolation, Legitimation, and Leave for Dvārakā (आश्वमेधिकपर्व, अध्याय १५)
स तमाथ्चवास्य विधिवद् विज्ञानज्ञों महातपा: । अपदहृत्यात्मनो भारं विशश्रामेव सात्वत:
sa tam āśvāsya vidhivad vijñānajño mahātapāḥ | apadahṛtyātmano bhāraṃ viśaśrāmeva sāttvataḥ ||
বৈশম্পায়ন বললেন—মহাতপস্বী, তত্ত্ববিজ্ঞানের জ্ঞানী শ্রীকৃষ্ণ বিধিপূর্বক অর্জুনকে সান্ত্বনা দিলেন। এভাবে নিজের উপর নেওয়া ভার নামিয়ে রেখে সেই সাত্বত (কৃষ্ণ) যেন ভারমুক্ত হয়ে বিশ্রাম নিলেন।

Educational Q&A
Right counsel given in a proper, dharmic manner can lighten another’s distress and also release the counselor from the weight of responsibility; ethical leadership includes restoring steadiness and clarity after trauma.
Vaiśampāyana narrates that Kṛṣṇa, described as a great ascetic and knower of discernment, consoles Arjuna according to proper procedure; after reassuring him, Kṛṣṇa seems to rest, as though having set aside his own burden.
