Kṛṣṇa at Duryodhana’s House: Refusal of Hospitality and Departure to Vidura (कृष्णस्य धार्तराष्ट्रनिवेशनगमनम्)
अविलोपेन धर्मस्य अनिकृत्या परंतप । प्रभावज्ञास्मि ते कृष्ण सत्यस्याभिजनस्यथ च
avilopena dharmasya anikṛtyā parantapa | prabhāvajñāsmi te kṛṣṇa satyasyābhijanasya ca ||
হে পরন্তপ কৃষ্ণ! ধর্মের লোপ না ঘটিয়ে, ছল-কপট থেকে দূরে থেকে সময়োচিত কর্ম করা উচিত। আমি তোমার সত্যনিষ্ঠা ও কুলধর্ম-মর্যাদার প্রভাব জানি।
