Kṛṣṇa at Duryodhana’s House: Refusal of Hospitality and Departure to Vidura (कृष्णस्य धार्तराष्ट्रनिवेशनगमनम्)
तयोश्वैतदवज्ञानं यत् सा कृष्णा सभां गता | दुःशासनश्व कर्णश्व॒ परुषाण्यभ्यभाषताम्,'ट्रौपदीको जो सभामें उपस्थित होना पड़ा तथा दुःशासन और कर्णने जो उसके प्रति कठोर बातें कहीं, यह सब भीमसेन और अर्जुनका ही अपमान है। दुर्योधनने प्रधान-प्रधान कौरवोंके सामने मनस्वी भीमसेनका अपमान किया है। इसका जो फल मिलेगा, उसे वह देखेगा
tayor etad avajñānaṃ yat sā kṛṣṇā sabhāṃ gatā | duḥśāsanaś ca karṇaś ca paruṣāṇy abhyabhāṣatām ||
Vaiśaṃpāyana said: “This, too, is an affront to those two—that Draupadī (Kṛṣṇā) was forced to enter the royal assembly, and that Duḥśāsana and Karṇa spoke harsh, wounding words to her.”
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Public humiliation and cruel speech are not minor offenses; they violate dharma and create moral debt. The verse frames Draupadī’s forced appearance and the harsh words of Duḥśāsana and Karṇa as a grave affront whose consequences must ripen, underscoring accountability for dishonor inflicted in a royal court.
Vaiśampāyana recalls the earlier outrage in the assembly: Draupadī (Kṛṣṇā) being brought into the sabhā and then verbally abused by Duḥśāsana and Karṇa. The incident is presented as a decisive humiliation that intensifies enmity and helps drive events toward inevitable conflict.
