अध्याय ८७: कृष्णस्य हस्तिनापुरप्रवेशः

Krishna’s Entry into Hastināpura and Court Reception

यत्‌ तत्‌ सत्कारसंयुक्त देयं वसु जनार्दने | अनेकरूपं राजेन्द्र न तद्‌ देयं कदाचन,राजेन्द्र! आप जो जनार्दनको सत्कारपूर्वक बहुत-सा धन-रत्न भेंट करना चाहते हैं, वह कदापि उन्हें न दें

yat tat satkārasaṃyuktaṃ deyaṃ vasu janārdane | anekarūpaṃ rājendra na tad deyaṃ kadācana ||

രാജേന്ദ്രാ! ജനാർദനന് സത്കാരത്തോടെ പല രൂപങ്ങളിലായി നൽകുവാൻ ഉദ്ദേശിക്കുന്ന ആ ധനം ഒരിക്കലും അവനു നൽകരുത്.

Educational Q&A

The verse highlights how pride and hostility can override dharmic diplomacy: refusing even respectful offerings to a mediator like Kṛṣṇa signals moral rigidity and accelerates conflict rather than reconciliation.

Duryodhana addresses a king (rājendra) and forbids giving Kṛṣṇa (Janārdana) any honor-laden, manifold gifts—rejecting a conciliatory or diplomatic approach and reinforcing his stance against compromise.
