उद्योगपर्व (अध्याय १२९) — केशवस्य वैभवप्रदर्शनम् / Krishna’s Theophanic Display in the Kuru Assembly
तदर्थमभिनिष्क्रम्य हार्दिक्येन सहास्थित:
tadartham abhiniṣkramya hārdikyena saha āsthitaḥ |
ヴァイシャンパーヤナは言った。「そのために彼は सभा（議堂）を出て、ハールディキヤ（クリトヴァルマン）と並び立ち、こう告げた。『急ぎ軍勢を整えよ。汝みずからも鎧を着け、軍を戦陣（ヴ्यूーハ）に組ませて、議堂の門口に陣取って待て。』」
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the ethical tension between deliberation and coercion: when conflict escalates, leaders often shift from dialogue to militarized readiness. It implicitly warns how quickly political disputes can harden into armed standoffs, making restraint and foresight crucial.
After deciding on a countermeasure, a principal actor leaves the assembly and coordinates with Hārdikya (Kṛtavarman), instructing him to prepare the troops, put on armor, arrange the army in formation, and hold position at the assembly hall’s entrance—signaling imminent confrontation and heightened security.
