Shloka 94
उद्योगपर्व — अध्याय ९३: कृष्णस्य धृतराष्ट्रोपदेशः
Kṛṣṇa’s Counsel to Dhṛtarāṣṭra in the Assembly
इति श्रीमहा भारते उद्योगपर्वणि भगवद्यानपर्वणि श्रीकृष्णस भाप्रवेशे चतुर्नवतितमो< ध्याय:
iti śrīmahābhārate udyogaparvaṇi bhagavadyānaparvaṇi śrīkṛṣṇasabhāpraveśe caturṇavatitamo 'dhyāyaḥ
Demikianlah, dalam Mahābhārata yang dimuliakan, dalam Udyoga Parva—khususnya bahagian mengenai misi damai Sang Bhagavān—berakhirlah bab ke-94 yang menghuraikan kemasukan Śrī Kṛṣṇa ke dalam balairung diraja. Kolofon penutup ini membingkai peristiwa itu sebagai campur tangan berlandaskan dharma: pendekatan diplomatik Kṛṣṇa dipersembahkan sebagai usaha etika terakhir untuk mengelakkan perang melalui nasihat, pengekangan diri, dan perundingan yang benar.
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
Even at the brink of conflict, dharma demands a sincere final attempt at reconciliation. The colophon highlights Kṛṣṇa’s role as a moral diplomat—prioritizing counsel, lawful settlement, and restraint before accepting war as unavoidable.
This is the chapter-ending colophon stating that the ninety-fourth chapter concludes in the Udyoga Parva’s Bhagavad-yāna section, centered on Śrī Kṛṣṇa’s entry into the royal assembly as part of his peace mission.
