ततो दाशार्णको राजा तीव्रकोपसमन्वित: । दूतं प्रस्थापयामास ट्रुपदस्य निवेशनम्,तदनन्तर दशार्णराजने दुःसह क्रोधसे युक्त हो राजा ट्रुपदके दरबारमें दूत भेजा
tato dāśārṇako rājā tīvrakopasamanvitaḥ | dūtaṃ prasthāpayāmāsa drupadasya niveśanam ||
Sesudah itu, raja Daśārṇa, yang diliputi amarah yang amat dahsyat, mengutus seorang duta ke kediaman Drupada.
दुपद उवाच
Educational Q&A
Unchecked anger in rulers quickly turns into state action; dharma in governance requires restraint and measured diplomacy, since even a messenger can become the instrument that moves a conflict toward peace or war.
Afterward, the king of Daśārṇa becomes intensely angry and sends an envoy to Drupada’s residence—an official diplomatic move that indicates a brewing dispute and the start of formal communication between courts.
