Shloka 10
अध्याय ८७: कृष्णस्य हस्तिनापुरप्रवेशः
Krishna’s Entry into Hastināpura and Court Reception
स यद् ब्रूयान्महाबाहुस्तत् कार्यमविशड्धकया । वासुदेवेन तीर्थेन क्षिप्रं संशाम्य पाण्डवै:
sa yad brūyān mahābāhus tat kāryam aviśaṅkayā | vāsudevena tīrthena kṣipraṁ saṁśāmya pāṇḍavaiḥ ||
वैशम्पायन बोले—महाबाहु श्रीकृष्ण जो कुछ कहें, उसे निःशंक होकर करना चाहिए। वासुदेव को पवित्र मध्यस्थ मानकर तुम शीघ्र ही पाण्डवों के साथ संधि कर लो।
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
Trust wise and dharmic counsel and act without suspicion; prioritize reconciliation by accepting a righteous mediator (Kṛṣṇa) to avert escalation into war.
In the Udyoga Parva’s pre-war negotiations, Vaiśampāyana reports advice urging the listener to accept Kṛṣṇa’s guidance and quickly conclude peace with the Pāṇḍavas by making Kṛṣṇa the intermediary.
