धर्मज्ञस्य सुतः स त्वमधर्म नावबुध्यसे । यस्त्वं वृष्णिप्रवीरस्य कुरुषे नाभिवादनम्
dharmajñasya sutaḥ sa tvam adharmaṃ nāvabudhyase | yas tvaṃ vṛṣṇipravīrasya kuruṣe nābhivādanam ||
«Сын мой, ты — сын отца, знающего дхарму; отчего же ты не распознаёшь неправедность в собственном поведении? Перед тобой стоит первейший герой рода Вришни, Шри Кришна; почему ты не воздаёшь ему почтительного приветствия?»

Educational Q&A
True dharma is shown not only in ideals but in conduct: recognizing adharma in oneself and offering due respect to the worthy—especially to a revered elder/leader like Kṛṣṇa—is an ethical obligation and a marker of humility.
A speaker rebukes someone for improper behavior: despite being born to a dharma-knowing father, he fails to perceive his wrongdoing and neglects to salute Kṛṣṇa, praised as the foremost hero of the Vṛṣṇi clan, who is present before him.
