Mahabharata 1.210.2 — Adi Parva, Adhyaya 210, Shloka 2
प्रभासे कृष्णार्जुनसमागमः तथा द्वारकाप्रवेशः | Kṛṣṇa–Arjuna Meeting at Prabhāsa and Entry into Dvārakā
तेडभिजम्मुर्जितक्रोधा जितात्मानो जितेन्द्रिया: । पितामहस्य भवनं जगत: कृपया तदा,उन्होंने अपने मन, इन्द्रियसमुदाय तथा क्रोधको जीत लिया था। फिर भी सम्पूर्ण जगतपर दया करके वे ब्रह्माजीके धाममें गये
teḍabhijammurjitakrodhā jitātmāno jitendriyāḥ | pitāmahasya bhavanaṃ jagataḥ kṛpayā tadā ||
அவர்கள் கோபத்தை வென்று, மனத்தை ஆள்ந்து, புலன்களை அடக்கி இருந்தனர்; ஆயினும் உலகின் மீது கருணையால் அப்போது பிதாமகர் பிரம்மாவின் இல்லத்திற்குச் சென்றனர்।

Educational Q&A
True spiritual discipline is not only inner conquest—mastery over anger, mind, and senses—but also compassionate engagement for the welfare of the world; self-control culminates in kṛpā (mercy).
Nārada describes certain disciplined beings who, despite being fully self-restrained, are moved by compassion for all creatures and therefore proceed to the abode of Pitāmaha (Brahmā), implying a purposeful visit for guidance or cosmic benefit.
