Shloka 68
Kṛṣṇa at Duryodhana’s House: Refusal of Hospitality and Departure to Vidura (कृष्णस्य धार्तराष्ट्रनिवेशनगमनम्)
धर्मश्नेदस्ति वा््णेय यथा वागभ्यभाषत । त्वं चापि तत् तथा कृष्ण सर्व सम्पादयिष्यसि,वृष्णिनन्दन श्रीकृष्ण! यदि धर्म है तो तुम भी वह सब काम पूरा कर लोगे, जिसे उस समय आकाशवाणीने बताया था
dharmaś ced asti vāṇeya yathā vāg abhyabhāṣata | tvaṃ cāpi tat tathā kṛṣṇa sarvaṃ sampādayiṣyasi ||
ไวศัมปายนะกล่าวว่า— โอ้ศรีกฤษณะ ผู้เป็นนন্দนแห่งวงศ์วฤษณิ! หากธรรมะมีอยู่จริงแล้ว ดังที่เสียงทิพย์เคยประกาศไว้ เมื่อนั้นท่านเองจักทำสิ่งทั้งปวงนั้นให้สำเร็จครบถ้วน

Educational Q&A
The verse asserts that dharma is not merely an ideal but an effective moral reality: if dharma exists, then the divinely indicated outcome will be fulfilled. It also highlights Kṛṣṇa as the reliable accomplisher of what aligns with dharma.
Vaiśampāyana, as narrator, recalls a prior divine proclamation (ākāśavāṇī) and expresses confidence that Kṛṣṇa will successfully complete what was foretold—framing the unfolding events of the Udyoga Parva within a dharmic and providential horizon.
