Peace Appeal and Five-Village Proposal

ヴァイシャンパーヤナは語った。法王ユディシュティラの言葉を聞き終えると、パールタ・ダナンジャヤ（アルジュナ）は、その場でサンジャヤに向かって語りかけた。ヴァースデーヴァ（クリシュナ）は傍らでそれを聞いていた。この場面は、アルジュナの使信がダルマと責任に根ざすことを示す—助言はクリシュナの面前で公然と述べられ、そののちにカウラヴァの宮廷へ携えられるのである。

Educational Q&A
Speech and action should be rooted in dharma and delivered with accountability: Arjuna speaks after hearing Yudhiṣṭhira’s righteous counsel, and he speaks in Kṛṣṇa’s presence—signaling that political messaging must be ethically grounded and open to moral scrutiny.
After listening to Yudhiṣṭhira, Arjuna begins addressing Sañjaya, who will serve as a messenger to the Kaurava side. Kṛṣṇa is present and listening, framing the forthcoming message as part of the pre-war diplomatic exchange in Udyoga Parva.
