Kṛṣṇa’s Counsel to Dhṛtarāṣṭra in the Assembly
अभ्यागच्छति दाशाहें प्रज्ञाचक्षुनरिश्वर: । सहैव द्रोणभीष्माभ्यामुदतिष्ठन्महायशा:
abhyāgacchati dāśārhe prajñācakṣur nariśvaraḥ | sahaiva droṇabhīṣmābhyām udatiṣṭhan mahāyaśāḥ ||
ครั้นดาศารหะ (พระศรีกฤษณะ) เสด็จเข้าใกล้ พระเจ้าธฤตราษฏร์ผู้ทรงเกียรติ—แม้ไร้ดวงตาแต่ทรงเห็นด้วยปัญญา—ก็ทรงลุกขึ้นทันทีพร้อมด้วยภีษมะและโทฺรณะ۔
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
Even amid political tension, dhārmic culture values honoring virtue and rightful stature. Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s rising for Kṛṣṇa signals recognition of Kṛṣṇa’s ethical authority and the norms of respect that should guide rulers and elders.
Kṛṣṇa arrives at the Kuru court during the Udyoga Parva’s diplomatic phase. Dhṛtarāṣṭra, along with Bhīṣma and Droṇa, stands up to receive him—an act of formal welcome and acknowledgment of his eminence.
