Udyoga-parva Adhyāya 130: Kuntī’s Instruction on Rājadharma and Daṇḍanīti
तदनन्तर किंकिणीविभूषित उस विशाल एवं उज्ज्वल रथके द्वारा भगवान् श्रीकृष्ण समस्त कौरवोंके देखते-देखते अपनी बुआ कुन्तीसे मिलनेके लिये गये ।।
tadanantaraṁ kiṅkiṇīvibhūṣitena viśālena ca ujjvalena rathena bhagavān śrīkṛṣṇaḥ samastān kauravān paśyataḥ paśyataḥ svāṁ bāṁ kuntīṁ draṣṭuṁ yayau | iti śrīmahābhārate udyogaparvaṇi bhagavadyānaparvaṇi viśvarūpadarśane ekatriṁśadadhikaśatatamo 'dhyāyaḥ |
Thereafter, the Blessed Śrī Kṛṣṇa—mounted on a vast, radiant chariot adorned with tinkling bells—went, before the very eyes of all the Kauravas, to meet his paternal aunt Kuntī. Thus ends the one-hundred-and-thirty-first chapter of the Udyoga Parva, in the section concerning the Lord’s embassy, on the theme of the vision of the universal form.

Educational Q&A
Even amid political crisis, dharma expresses itself through right relationship and responsibility: Kṛṣṇa’s public movement toward Kuntī highlights fidelity to family bonds and compassionate counsel as part of ethical statecraft, not separate from it.
After the preceding events, Kṛṣṇa departs in a splendid, bell-adorned chariot and, in full view of the Kauravas, goes to meet Kuntī—his paternal aunt—marking a transition within his embassy narrative and closing the chapter themed around viśvarūpa-darśana.
