Mahabharata — Udyoga Parva, Shloka 696
अध्याय ८२ — केशवप्रयाणे निमित्तदर्शनम्
Omens and Reception During Keśava’s Departure
त्वं च यादवशार्दूल सभायां वै समेष्यथ । 'यदुकुलसिंह! वहाँ कौरवसभामें भीष्म, द्रोण आदि प्रमुख व्यक्ति, परम बुद्धिमान् विदुर तथा आप पधारेंगे
tvaṃ ca yādavaśārdūla sabhāyāṃ vai sameṣyatha |
ヴァイシャンパーヤナは言った。「そして汝もまた、ヤーダヴァの群れの猛虎よ、まことに王の सभा（集会）へ赴くであろう。」この一句は、クリシュナがカウラヴァの宮廷に臨み、長老と顧問たちの前で和平か戦かの運命が量られることを予告する—賢き言葉と正しき諫言が、驕りと権勢に対して試される倫理の刻である。
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse underscores the moral weight of appearing in an assembly where decisions affecting many lives are made: righteous counsel and truthful speech must be offered even when the court is dominated by power and partiality.
Vaiśampāyana foretells/notes that Kṛṣṇa, addressed as ‘Yādavaśārdūla,’ will come to the royal court—setting the stage for high-stakes deliberation in the Kaurava assembly during the pre-war negotiations.
