Vidura’s Counsel to Krishna on the Limits of Peace
श्रिया ज्वलन्तं प्रासादमारुरोह महायशा: । द्वारपालोंने रोक-टोक नहीं की। उस राजभवनकी तीन ड्योढ़ियाँ पार करके महायशस्वी श्रीकृष्ण एक ऐसे प्रासादपर आरूढ़ हुए
śriyā jvalantaṃ prāsādam āruroha mahāyaśāḥ |
ūcur mādhavaṃ vīraṃ kuravo madhusūdanam |
nivedayāmo vārṣṇeya sa-ratnāṃs te gṛhān vayam ||
ໄວສັມປາຍະນະໄດ້ກ່າວວ່າ: ກຣິດສະນະ ຜູ້ມີກຽດຍົດຍິ່ງໃຫຍ່ ໄດ້ຂຶ້ນໄປຍັງປະສາດທີ່ສ່ອງປະກາຍດ້ວຍສິຣີ. ແລ້ວພວກຄູຣຸໄດ້ກ່າວກັບວີຣະມາທະວະ ຜູ້ປາບມະທຸ: “ໂອ ວາຣສ໌ເນຍ, ພວກເຮົາຂໍນໍາເຮືອນຂອງພວກເຮົາ ອັນອຸດົມດ້ວຍແກ້ວມະນີ ໄປຖວາຍໃນການຮັບໃຊ້ຂອງທ່ານ.”

The verse highlights rāja-dharma in practice: honoring a revered guest through lavish hospitality and respectful speech. Ethically, it shows how generosity and deference can function both as genuine reverence and as diplomatic strategy in a tense political climate.
Kṛṣṇa, renowned and radiant, ascends a splendid palace. The Kurus address him with honorific epithets and formally offer their jewel-rich homes for his use—an act of courtly reception meant to acknowledge his status and influence.
