अध्याय ८२ — केशवप्रयाणे निमित्तदर्शनम्
Omens and Reception During Keśava’s Departure
यदि वह मूर्ख आपकी कही हुई धर्म और अर्थसे युक्त, संतापनाशक, कल्याणकारी एवं हितकर बातें नहीं मानेगा तो अवश्य ही उसे कालके गालमें जाना पड़ेगा ।।
śrībhagavān uvāca | dharmyam asmaddhitaṃ caiva kurūṇāṃ yad anāmayam | eṣa yāsyāmi rājānaṃ dhṛtarāṣṭram abhīpsayā ||
El Bienaventurado Señor dijo: «Arjuna, iré ante el rey Dhṛtarāṣṭra con la intención de procurar aquel curso de acción que sea justo, beneficioso para nosotros y también propicio al bienestar y la prosperidad de los Kurus—libre de daño y aflicción.»

Educational Q&A
Even amid looming conflict, one should first pursue a dharmic course that seeks the welfare of all parties. Kṛṣṇa frames his mission as righteous, beneficial to his own side, and also non-injurious and welfare-oriented for the Kurus, emphasizing ethical responsibility over partisan triumph.
In Udyoga Parva, as war approaches, Kṛṣṇa declares to Arjuna that he will go to King Dhṛtarāṣṭra. His purpose is to urge a course of action aligned with dharma and aimed at preventing harm—an explicit move toward counsel and reconciliation before battle becomes inevitable.
