Udyoga Parva — Gandhārī’s Counsel to Duryodhana
वेशम्पायनजी कहते हैं--जनमेजय! दुर्योधनकी बातें सुनकर श्रीकृष्णके नेत्र क्रोधसे लाल हो गये। वे कुछ विचार करके कौरवसभामें दुर्योधनसे पुनः इस प्रकार बोले-- ।।
vaiśampāyana uvāca—janamejaya! duryodhanasya vacaḥ śrutvā śrīkṛṣṇasya netre krodhena lohitābhavatām. sa kiñcid vicārya kauravasabhāyāṃ duryodhanaṃ punar evam uvāca—
“lapsyase vīraśayanaṃ kāmam etad avāpsyasi | sthiro bhava sahāmātyo vimardo bhavitā mahān ||”
Вайшампаяна сказал: «О Джанамеджая, услышав слова Дурьодханы, глаза Шри Кришны покраснели от гнева. Помедлив и поразмыслив, он вновь обратился к Дурьодхане в собрании кауравов: “Ты обретёшь ложе героя на поле брани; твоё желание воистину исполнится. Стой твёрдо вместе со своими советниками — ныне грядёт великое, сокрушительное побоище.”»

Educational Q&A
Stubbornness against dharma and counsel ripens into inevitable, large-scale harm. Kṛṣṇa’s words frame war not as glory but as the grim consequence of unethical resolve—Duryodhana’s ‘wish’ for dominance culminates in the ‘hero’s bed,’ i.e., death and devastation.
In the Kaurava court during the peace negotiations, Duryodhana speaks provocatively. Kṛṣṇa, angered, reflects briefly and then addresses him again, foretelling that Duryodhana will indeed get what he seeks—battle—along with its fatal outcome, and that a massive, crushing conflict is imminent.
