Shloka 14

उद्योगपर्व (अध्याय १२९) — केशवस्य वैभवप्रदर्शनम् / Krishna’s Theophanic Display in the Kuru Assembly

Devanagari script

ऐसा कहकर वीर सात्यकिने सभामें प्रवेश किया, मानो सिंह पर्वतकी कन्दरामें घुस रहा हो। वहाँ जाकर उन्होंने महात्मा केशवसे कौरवोंका अभिप्राय बताया। फिर धृतराष्टर और विदुरको भी इसकी सूचना दी ।। तेषामेतमभिप्रायमाचचक्षे स्मयन्निव | धर्मादर्थाच्च कामाच्च कर्म साधुविगर्हितम्‌

Transliteration

teṣām etam abhiprāyam ācacakṣe smayann iva | dharmād arthāc ca kāmāc ca karma sādhu-vigarhītam ||

Translation

As if with a faint, knowing smile, he disclosed to them that very intention: a course of action censured by the good—one that had swerved from dharma, from rightful gain, and from legitimate desire.
