Omens and Reception During Keśava’s Departure
त्वमित: पुण्डरीकाक्ष सुयोधनममर्षणम् । शान्त्यर्थ भ्रातरं ब्रूया यत् तद् वाच्यममित्रहन्
arjuna uvāca | tvam itaḥ puṇḍarīkākṣa suyodhanam amarṣaṇam | śāntyarthaṁ bhrātaraṁ brūyā yat tad vācyam amitrahan ||
Arjuna dijo: «Oh Kṛṣṇa, de ojos de loto, destructor de enemigos: ve desde aquí y habla con nuestro hermano Duryodhana, tan difícil de contener y pronto a la ira; dile las palabras que deban decirse por la paz, palabras que ayuden a establecer la reconciliación».
अजुन उवाच
Educational Q&A
Even when conflict seems inevitable, dharma requires a sincere attempt at reconciliation through timely, truthful, and beneficial speech; peace-making is presented as a moral duty before resorting to war.
Arjuna urges Kṛṣṇa to go to Duryodhana and deliver appropriate words aimed at establishing peace, acknowledging Duryodhana’s harsh temperament while still treating him as family and seeking to avert war.
