अध्याय ४ — दुर्योधनस्य असंधि-निश्चयः
Duryodhana’s Refusal of Reconciliation
“भगवान् श्रीकृष्ण किसीसे पराजित न होनेवाले राजा युधिष्ठिर, अर्जुन और भीमसेनसे जो कुछ भी कहेंगे, वे सब लोग उसे नि:संदेह स्वीकार कर लेंगे ।।
sañjaya uvāca | bhagavān śrīkṛṣṇaḥ kasyacid aparājitaṃ rājānaṃ yudhiṣṭhiram arjunaṃ bhīmasenaṃ ca yat kiṃcid vakṣyati, te sarve tad niḥsaṃdehaṃ pratigrahiṣyanti || nātikramiṣyate kṛṣṇo vacanaṃ kauravasya tu | dhṛtarāṣṭrasya manye'haṃ nāpi kṛṣṇasya pāṇḍavaḥ ||
サンジャヤは言った。「至上なるシュリー・クリシュナが、不屈の決意をもつ王ユディシュティラに、またアルジュナとビー マセーナに告げることは何であれ、彼らは皆、疑いなく受け入れるであろう。私は、クリシュナがクル族の主ドリタラーシュトラの言葉を退けることはないと信じる。さらに同様に、パーンダヴァ（ユディシュティラ）もクリシュナの命に背くことはできまい。」

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights dharmic restraint and the binding force of rightful authority: Krishna, though supremely capable, honors Dhritarashtra’s word, while Yudhishthira, committed to dharma, will not violate Krishna’s directive. Ethical action is shown as adherence to legitimate counsel and responsibility, not mere power.
Sanjaya reports his confidence about how Krishna’s counsel will be received: the Pandava leaders will accept Krishna’s words without hesitation. He also anticipates reciprocal restraint—Krishna will not disregard Dhritarashtra’s position/word, and Yudhishthira will not overstep Krishna’s command—framing the coming decisions within duty and protocol.
