Duryodhana-vadha-pratikriyā: Harṣa, Nindā, and Kṛṣṇa’s Nīti-vyākhyā (Śalya-parva 60)
युधिछिर उवाच गतो वैरस्य निधनं हतो राजा सुयोधन: । कृष्णस्य मतमास्थाय विजितेयं वसुन्धरा
yudhiṣṭhira uvāca
gato vairasya nidhanaṁ hato rājā suyodhanaḥ |
kṛṣṇasya matam āsthāya vijiteyaṁ vasundharā ||
Yudhiṣṭhira berkata: “Wahai Bhimasena! Permusuhan telah mencapai akhirnya; Raja Suyodhana telah tewas. Dengan bersandar pada nasihat Kṛṣṇa, kita telah menaklukkan seluruh bumi ini.”
युधिछिर उवाच
Educational Q&A
Victory and political success are framed as arising from right counsel and alignment with Kṛṣṇa’s guidance; the verse also marks the moral closure of a long-standing feud by declaring the enmity’s ‘end’ with the fall of its chief agent.
After Duryodhana (Suyodhana) has been killed, Yudhiṣṭhira reflects that the central hostility has reached its conclusion and attributes the Pandavas’ conquest of the realm to their reliance on Kṛṣṇa’s counsel.
