Udyoga Parva — Gandhārī’s Counsel to Duryodhana
कालपक्वमिदं मन्ये सर्व क्षत्र॑ जनार्दन । सर्वे हानुसृता मोहात् पार्थिवा: सह मन्सत्रिभि:
kālapakvam idaṃ manye sarvaṃ kṣatra janārdana | sarve hānusṛtā mohāt pārthivāḥ saha mantribhiḥ ||
ହେ ଜନାର୍ଦ୍ଦନ! ମୋ ମତରେ ଏହି ସମସ୍ତ କ୍ଷତ୍ରିୟବର୍ଗ କାଳରେ ପକ୍କ ହୋଇଥିବା ଫଳ ପରି ମୃତ୍ୟୁମୁଖକୁ ପଡ଼ିବାକୁ ପ୍ରସ୍ତୁତ। ତେଣୁ ମୋହବଶେ ଏହି ସମସ୍ତ ରାଜା ନିଜ ମନ୍ତ୍ରୀମାନଙ୍କ ସହ ଦୁର୍ଯ୍ୟୋଧନଙ୍କୁ ଅନୁସରଣ କରୁଛନ୍ତି।
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
When leaders and their advisers act under moha (delusion), collective ruin follows. The verse frames impending destruction as ‘ripened by Time’ (kālapakva), warning that ethical blindness and misguided allegiance can make an entire ruling class rush toward death.
Vaiśampāyana, narrating events, addresses Kṛṣṇa as Janārdana and laments that the kṣatriyas and kings—along with their ministers—are aligning themselves with Duryodhana. This alignment is portrayed as a sign that Time has matured their fate toward the catastrophic war.
