Kṛṣṇa’s Counsel to Dhṛtarāṣṭra in the Assembly
तत उत्थाय दाशाह ऋषभ: सर्वसात्वताम् | सर्वमावश्यकं चक्रे प्रातःकार्य जनार्दन:,तब समस्त यदुवंशियोंके शिरोमणि दशार्हनन्दन श्रीकृष्णने शय्यासे उठकर प्रात:कालका समस्त आवश्यक कर्म क्रमश: सम्पन्न किया
tata utthāya dāśārha ṛṣabhaḥ sarva-sāttvatām | sarvam āvaśyakaṁ cakre prātaḥ-kāryaṁ janārdanaḥ ||
তখন দাশার্হদের শ্রেষ্ঠ ও সকল সাত্বতের শিরোমণি জনার্দন শ্রীকৃষ্ণ শয্যা ত্যাগ করে উঠলেন এবং প্রাতঃকালের সকল আবশ্যক কর্ম যথাক্রমে সম্পন্ন করলেন।
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse highlights dharmic steadiness: even a leader engaged in momentous negotiations should maintain daily discipline and obligatory conduct. Kṛṣṇa’s orderly completion of morning duties models self-governance, which supports ethical clarity in public action.
Vaiśampāyana narrates that Kṛṣṇa, described as the foremost among the Dāśārhas and Sāttvatas, rises and completes the prescribed morning routines. This sets a composed, purposeful tone before the ensuing political and war-related developments of the Udyoga Parva.
