अध्याय १२२ — कृष्णस्य दुर्योधनं प्रति नीत्युपदेशः
Kṛṣṇa’s Ethical Counsel to Duryodhana
येन त्वां नाभिजानन्ति ततोऊज्ञातोडसि पातितः । प्रीत्यैव चासि दौहिवत्रैस्तारितस्त्वमिहागत:
yena tvāṁ nābhijānanti tato 'jñāto 'si pātitaḥ | prītyaiva cāsi dauhitrais tāritas tvam ihāgataḥ ||
ଯେହେତୁ ସେମାନେ ତୁମକୁ ଚିହ୍ନିଲେ ନାହିଁ, ସେହି କାରଣରୁ ତୁମେ ସମସ୍ତଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ ଅଜ୍ଞାତ ହୋଇ ସ୍ୱର୍ଗରୁ ପତିତ କରାଗଲା। କିନ୍ତୁ ତୁମ ଦୌହିତ୍ରମାନେ କେବଳ ସ୍ନେହବଶତଃ ତୁମକୁ ଉଦ୍ଧାର କଲେ; ତେଣୁ ତୁମେ ପୁନଃ ଏଠାକୁ ଆସିଛ।

Educational Q&A
Pride and self-exalting conduct can obscure one’s earned merit and lead to a fall; conversely, sincere affection and familial responsibility (here, the daughter’s sons) can become a means of rescue and restoration.
Nārada explains to a royal sage that he was not recognized in heaven and was therefore cast down; later, his grandsons through his daughter, acting out of love, delivered him and enabled his return.
