Shloka 15
उनके कैद हो जानेपर समस्त यदुवंशी, इस भूमण्डलका राज्य तथा पाण्डव भी मेरी आज्ञाके अधीन हो जायूँगे। श्रीकृष्ण कल सबेरे यहाँ आ ही जायँगे ।। अत्रोपायान् यथा सम्यड् न बुद्धयेत जनार्दन: । न चापायो भवेत् कक्ित् तद् भवान् प्रब्रवीतु मे
atrop01y01n yath01 samyak na buddhyeta jan01rdana; na c01p01yo bhavet ka5bcit tad bhav01n prabrav2btu me.
“Once he is taken into custody, the entire Yadu line, sovereignty over this earth, and the Pāṇḍavas too will come under my command. Kṛṣṇa will surely arrive here tomorrow morning. Tell me the means by which Janārdana will not clearly perceive our stratagem here, and by which no danger at all will arise for us.”

The verse highlights the ethical collapse that precedes catastrophe: Duryodhana seeks a risk-free deceit against K9b 63 47a, showing how adharma tries to silence or evade righteous discernment rather than reform itself.
In the run-up to the Kuruk 63etra war, Duryodhana consults his side about a scheme: he asks for a method to ensure K9b 63 47a (Jan01rdana) will not detect their plan and that no danger will come to them, implying an intended act of coercion or capture during diplomatic proceedings.
