Kṛṣṇa’s Counsel to Dhṛtarāṣṭra in the Assembly

ततः सभां समासाद्य केशवस्यानुयायिन: । सशड्खेैरवेणुनिर्घोषैर्दिश: सर्वा व्यनादयन्‌,कौरवसभाके समीप पहुँचकर श्रीकृष्णके अनुगामी सेवकोंने शंख और वेणु आदि वाद्योंकी ध्वनिसे सम्पूर्ण दिशाओंको गुँजा दिया

tataḥ sabhāṃ samāsādya keśavasyānuyāyinaḥ | saśaṅkhair veṇunirghoṣair diśaḥ sarvā vyanādayan |

やがて सभा(集会殿)の近くに至ると、ケーシャヴァ(クリシュナ)に従う従者たちは、法螺貝の轟きと笛、その他の楽器の高鳴りで四方を響かせた—それは来臨の告知であり、緊迫した外交の場における自信と王者の威厳をあえて示すものでもあった。

Educational Q&A

Even before words are spoken, conduct and presentation communicate intent. The disciplined service of Kṛṣṇa’s attendants and the ceremonial music signal dignity, confidence, and order—suggesting that dharma in public life includes proper protocol and self-possessed restraint amid looming conflict.

As Kṛṣṇa’s party reaches the Kaurava assembly hall, his followers announce the arrival by sounding conches and flutes, making the entire court and surrounding directions reverberate—setting a charged atmosphere for the ensuing diplomatic encounter.
