Kṛṣṇa at Duryodhana’s House: Refusal of Hospitality and Departure to Vidura (कृष्णस्य धार्तराष्ट्रनिवेशनगमनम्)
वीरसूर्वीरपत्नी त्वं सर्व: समुदिता गुणै: । सुखदु:खे महाप्राज्ञे त्वादशी सोढुमरहति
vīrasūr vīrapatnī tvaṃ sarvaḥ samuditā guṇaiḥ | sukhaduḥkhe mahāprājñe tvādṛśī soḍhum arhati ||
Engkau istri seorang pahlawan dan ibu para pahlawan, berhias segala kebajikan. Wahai perempuan yang amat bijaksana, seorang seperti engkau patut menanggung suka dan duka dengan keteguhan hati.

Educational Q&A
The verse teaches dharmic steadiness: a virtuous and discerning person should bear both joy and grief without losing composure, especially in a warrior household where reversals are inevitable.
In Vaiśampāyana’s narration, a woman addressed as a heroic wife and mother is being consoled and instructed to remain firm-minded, accepting both सुख and दुःख as part of her duty and life situation.
