उद्योगपर्व (अध्याय १२९) — केशवस्य वैभवप्रदर्शनम् / Krishna’s Theophanic Display in the Kuru Assembly
तं न बुद्धयसि गोविन्द घोरविक्रममच्युतम् । आशीविषमिव क्ुद्धं तेजोराशिमनिन्दितम्
taṁ na buddhyasi govinda ghoravikramam acyutam | āśīviṣam iva kruddhaṁ tejorāśim aninditam ||
ヴィドゥラは警告する。汝はゴーヴィンダ、栄光より決して落ちぬアチュタを真に知らぬ。その武威は凄絶であり、怒りに燃えれば毒蛇のごとく恐ろしく、止めがたい。しかも彼は咎なき光輝の塊で、善き人々に讃えられる存在である。

Educational Q&A
Do not mistake the restraint of a righteous and powerful person for incapacity. When dharma is threatened, even the gentle may become formidable; provoking such a force invites consequences.
Vidura is cautioning the Kuru side that they fail to grasp Kṛṣṇa’s true nature and power. He portrays Kṛṣṇa as blameless and revered, yet terrifying when angered—implying that opposing him (and the dharmic cause he supports) is perilous.
