Sañjaya on Janārdana’s Decisive Sovereignty
तौ तेडसूयां विनयेतां नरेन्द्र धर्मज्ञौ तौ निपुणा निश्चयज्ञौ । तयोस्तु त्वां संनिधौ तद् वदेयं कृत्स्नं मतं केशवपार्थयोर्यत्,नरेन्द्र! वे दोनों धर्मके ज्ञाता, विचारकुशल तथा सिद्धान्तको समझनेवाले हैं; अतः वे आपकी दोषदृष्टिका निवारण करेंगे। उन दोनोंके समीप मैं आपको श्रीकृष्ण और अर्जुनका जो विचार है, वह पूरा-पूरा बता दूँगा

ସଞ୍ଜୟ କହିଲେ—ହେ ନରେନ୍ଦ୍ର! ସେ ଦୁଇଜଣ ଧର୍ମଜ୍ଞ, ବିଚାରକୁଶଳ ଓ ନିଶ୍ଚୟଜ୍ଞ; ସେମାନେ ଆପଣଙ୍କ ଦୋଷଦୃଷ୍ଟି ଓ ସନ୍ଦେହ ନିବାରିବେ। ସେମାନଙ୍କ ସମ୍ମୁଖରେ ମୁଁ କେଶବ ଓ ପାର୍ଥଙ୍କ ସମ୍ପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ ମତ ଆପଣଙ୍କୁ ଯଥାର୍ଥ କହିଦେବି।

Educational Q&A
Sound political and moral judgment should be grounded in dharma-informed counsel and clear reasoning, not in asūyā—fault-finding suspicion. Sañjaya emphasizes that expert, principled advisers can dispel distrust and allow the king to hear the full, reasoned position of Kṛṣṇa and Arjuna.
Sañjaya addresses the king and indicates that two competent, dharma-versed figures will correct the king’s suspicious outlook. He then proposes to present, in their presence, the complete considered view of Kṛṣṇa (Keśava) and Arjuna (Pārtha), situating the discussion within the diplomatic tensions preceding war.
