अध्याय ८७: कृष्णस्य हस्तिनापुरप्रवेशः
Krishna’s Entry into Hastināpura and Court Reception
उनके कैद हो जानेपर समस्त यदुवंशी, इस भूमण्डलका राज्य तथा पाण्डव भी मेरी आज्ञाके अधीन हो जायूँगे। श्रीकृष्ण कल सबेरे यहाँ आ ही जायँगे ।। अत्रोपायान् यथा सम्यड् न बुद्धयेत जनार्दन: । न चापायो भवेत् कक्ित् तद् भवान् प्रब्रवीतु मे
atrop01y01n yath01 samyak na buddhyeta jan01rdana; na c01p01yo bhavet ka5bcit tad bhav01n prabrav2btu me.
Bila ia tertawan, seluruh bangsa Yādava, bumi ini, dan para Pāṇḍava akan berada di bawah perintahku; Śrī Kṛṣṇa pasti datang ke sini besok pagi. Maka katakan kepadaku cara-cara agar Janārdana tidak menangkap siasat kita dengan jelas, dan agar tak ada bahaya sedikit pun menimpa kita.
दुर्योधन उवाच
The verse highlights the ethical collapse that precedes catastrophe: Duryodhana seeks a risk-free deceit against K9b6347a, showing how adharma tries to silence or evade righteous discernment rather than reform itself.
In the run-up to the Kuruk63etra war, Duryodhana consults his side about a scheme: he asks for a method to ensure K9b6347a (Jan01rdana) will not detect their plan and that no danger will come to them, implying an intended act of coercion or capture during diplomatic proceedings.
