Kṛṣṇa at Duryodhana’s House: Refusal of Hospitality and Departure to Vidura (कृष्णस्य धार्तराष्ट्रनिवेशनगमनम्)
निद्रातन्द्रे क्रोधहर्षो क्षुत्पिपासे हिमातपौ । एतानि पार्था निर्जित्य नित्यं वीरसुखे रता:
nidrātandre krodhaharṣau kṣutpipāse himātapau | etāni pārthā nirjitya nityaṃ vīrasukhe ratāḥ ||
তোমার পুত্রেরা নিদ্রা ও আলস্য, ক্রোধ ও হর্ষ, ক্ষুধা ও তৃষ্ণা, এবং শীত ও তাপ—এসব জয় করে সদা বীরোচিত আনন্দে রত থাকে।

Educational Q&A
The core teaching is self-mastery: a true hero conquers bodily urges and mental swings—sleep, laziness, anger, excessive excitement, hunger, thirst, and discomfort from weather—so that conduct remains steady and fit for dharma.
Vaiśampāyana is describing and praising the warriorly discipline of the Pārthas (the Pāṇḍavas), emphasizing their endurance and control over passions and physical hardships as marks of heroic character.
