द्रौपदी-कृष्णसंवादः
Draupadī–Kṛṣṇa Dialogue on Settlement and Daṇḍa
यदि प्रशममिच्छेयु: कुरव: पाण्डवैः सह । तथापि युद्ध दाशा्ह योजयेथा: सहैव तै:,दशाहईनन्दन! यदि कौरव पाण्डवोंके साथ संधि करना चाहें, तो भी आप उनके साथ युद्धकी ही योजना बनाइयेगा
yadi praśamam iccheyuḥ kuravaḥ pāṇḍavaiḥ saha | tathāpi yuddha-daśāṁ yojayethāḥ sahaiva taiḥ ||
ສະຫະເທວະ ກ່າວວ່າ: «ແມ່ນແຕ່ຖ້າພວກກຸຣຸຈະປາດຖະນາສັນຕິກັບພວກປານດະວະ ທ່ານກໍຈົ່ງ—ພ້ອມກັບພວກເຂົາ—ຈັດການຕຽມການສົງຄາມໄວ້ເທົ່ານັ້ນ.»
सहदेव उवाच
Educational Q&A
Even when peace is proposed, a ruler or strategist should not abandon vigilance; ethical governance includes preparedness to prevent being harmed by deceit or sudden aggression.
Sahadeva offers counsel in the lead-up to the great conflict, urging that even if the Kauravas speak of making peace with the Pāṇḍavas, one should still coordinate and maintain readiness for war alongside them.
