उद्योगपर्व (अध्याय १२९) — केशवस्य वैभवप्रदर्शनम् / Krishna’s Theophanic Display in the Kuru Assembly
धृतराष्ट्रके ऐसा कहनेपर विदुरने भी अमर्षमें भरे हुए धृतराष्ट्रपुत्र दुर्योधनके पास जाकर इस प्रकार कहा ।।
vidura uvāca | duryodhana nibodhedaṁ vacana mama sāmpratam | saubhadvāre dānavendro dvivido nāma nāmataḥ | śilāvarṣeṇa mahatā chādayāmāsa keśavam ||
धृतराष्ट्रेणैवं उक्ते विदुरोऽपि अमर्षसमाविष्टं धृतराष्ट्रपुत्रं दुर्योधनं प्रति गत्वेदं वचनमब्रवीत्। विदुर उवाच—दुर्योधन, निबोधेदं वचनं मम साम्प्रतम्। सौभद्वारे दानवेन्द्रो द्विविदो नाम नामतः। शिलावर्षेण महता छादयामास केशवम्॥
विदुर उवाच
Educational Q&A
Vidura warns against arrogant aggression: even great power becomes futile when directed against dharma and the divinely protected; hostility born of pride rebounds upon the aggressor.
Vidura approaches Duryodhana and begins a cautionary tale, recalling how Dvivida at Saubhadvāra once tried to overwhelm Kṛṣṇa (Keśava) with a massive barrage of stones—setting up a moral warning for Duryodhana’s own course.
