Droṇa–Vidura–Gāndhārī Counsel in the Royal Assembly (धर्मार्थयुक्ता सभा-उपदेश-प्रकरणम्)
सम्भाष्य सुचिरं काल मन्त्रयित्वा पुन: पुन: । स्वमेव भवन शौरिविंश्रामार्थ जगाम ह,दीर्घकालतक बातचीत करके बारंबार गुप्त मन्त्रणा करनेके पश्चात् भगवान् श्रीकृष्ण विश्रामके लिये अपने वासस्थानको गये
sambhāṣya suciraṃ kālaṃ mantrayitvā punaḥ punaḥ | svam eva bhavanaṃ śaurir viśrāmārthaṃ jagāma ha ||
Vaiśampāyana sprach: „Nachdem sie lange gesprochen und wieder und wieder vertraulich beraten hatten, kehrte Śauri (Śrī Kṛṣṇa) in seine eigene Wohnstatt zurück, um zu ruhen.“
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
Serious decisions—especially those affecting dharma and public welfare—should follow sustained dialogue and repeated, careful consultation; prudent deliberation precedes decisive action.
After an extended discussion and repeated confidential strategizing, Kṛṣṇa (Śauri) concludes the meeting and returns to his own quarters to rest.
