Kṛṣṇa at Duryodhana’s House: Refusal of Hospitality and Departure to Vidura (कृष्णस्य धार्तराष्ट्रनिवेशनगमनम्)
तयोश्वैतदवज्ञानं यत् सा कृष्णा सभां गता | दुःशासनश्व कर्णश्व॒ परुषाण्यभ्यभाषताम्
tayor etad avajñānaṃ yat sā kṛṣṇā sabhāṃ gatā | duḥśāsanaś ca karṇaś ca paruṣāṇy abhyabhāṣatām ||
આ પણ તે બંનેનો જ અપમાન છે—કૃષ્ણા (દ્રૌપદી)ને સભામાં જવું પડ્યું અને દુઃશાસન તથા કર્ણે તેના પ્રત્યે કઠોર વચનો કહ્યા.

Educational Q&A
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.
