उद्योगपर्व — अध्याय ८१: कृष्णस्य दूतप्रयाणम्
Udyoga Parva, Chapter 81: Krishna Sets Out as Envoy
एतत् समर्थ पार्थानां तव चैव यशस्करम् । क्रियमाणं भवेत् कृष्ण क्षत्रस्य च सुखावहम्
etat samartha pārthānāṁ tava caiva yaśaskaram | kriyamāṇaṁ bhavet kṛṣṇa kṣatrasya ca sukhāvaham ||
ဝိုင်ရှမ္ပာယန မိန့်ကြားသည်– «ဤအကြံအစည်သည် ပါရ္ထတို့အတွက် သင့်လျော်ပြီး၊ အို ကృష్ణ၊ သင်၏ဂုဏ်သတင်းကိုလည်း တိုးပွားစေမည်။ အကောင်အထည်ဖော်လျှင် စစ်သူရဲဝဏ္ဏ (က்ஷတ်ရိယ) အတွက်လည်း အကျိုးရှိ၍ ချမ်းသာသုခကို ပေးမည်»။
वैशम्पायन उवाच
The verse frames an ethical-political criterion for action: a proposed step should be (1) fitting to the rightful parties (the Pārthas), (2) honor-enhancing for the mediator/leader (Kṛṣṇa), and (3) conducive to the welfare of the kṣatriya order—i.e., promoting stability, rightful conduct, and the broader good rather than narrow gain.
In the Udyoga Parva’s pre-war deliberations, Vaiśaṃpāyana narrates counsel directed to Kṛṣṇa regarding a contemplated measure in the tense negotiations between the Pāṇḍavas and the Kauravas. The line endorses that measure as suitable for the Pāṇḍavas, reputation-building for Kṛṣṇa, and beneficial for the warrior polity.
