Kṛṣṇa at Duryodhana’s House: Refusal of Hospitality and Departure to Vidura (कृष्णस्य धार्तराष्ट्रनिवेशनगमनम्)
निद्रातन्द्रे क्रोधहर्षो क्षुत्पिपासे हिमातपौ । एतानि पार्था निर्जित्य नित्यं वीरसुखे रता:
nidrātandre krodhaharṣau kṣutpipāse himātapau | etāni pārthā nirjitya nityaṃ vīrasukhe ratāḥ ||
Putra-putramu telah menaklukkan tidur dan kelengahan, amarah dan kegirangan, lapar dan dahaga, serta dingin dan panas; karena itu mereka senantiasa teguh dalam kenikmatan yang layak bagi para kesatria.

Educational Q&A
The core teaching is self-mastery: a true hero conquers bodily urges and mental swings—sleep, laziness, anger, excessive excitement, hunger, thirst, and discomfort from weather—so that conduct remains steady and fit for dharma.
Vaiśampāyana is describing and praising the warriorly discipline of the Pārthas (the Pāṇḍavas), emphasizing their endurance and control over passions and physical hardships as marks of heroic character.
