かくして大いなる心をもつ聖仙たち—大リシと清浄なる予見者—に礼敬されたクリシュナは、クル族の宮廷、すなわち王都ハスティナープラへと旅立った。戦の前に正法にかなう和議を求めるという、重きダルマの使命を帯びて。
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse highlights dharmic conduct around counsel and public action: the righteous honor the virtuous, and a leader’s mission—especially one aimed at preventing conflict—should proceed with the blessings and moral support of sages and the good.
After being respectfully received and honored by an assembly of great sages and saintly men, Kṛṣṇa departs toward the Kuru residence/court at Hastināpura, setting the stage for his diplomatic engagement with the Kurus.
