Kṛṣṇa at Duryodhana’s House: Refusal of Hospitality and Departure to Vidura (कृष्णस्य धार्तराष्ट्रनिवेशनगमनम्)
महाकुलीना भवती ह्ृदाद् हृदमिवागता । ईश्वरी सर्वकल्याणी भर्त्रा परमपूजिता
mahākulīnā bhavatī hṛdād hṛdam ivāgatā | īśvarī sarvakalyāṇī bhartrā paramapūjitā ||
Sinabi ni Vaiśampāyana: “Ikaw ay isang ginang na mula sa dakilang angkan, at mula sa isang marangal na sambahayan ay naparoon sa isa pang marangal na sambahayan—gaya ng halamang-liryo na inilipat mula sa isang lawa tungo sa isa pa. Ikaw ay isang reyna na may kapangyarihan, puspos ng lahat ng mapalad na katangian, at itinuring ng iyong asawa sa pinakamataas na paggalang.”

The verse underscores the dharmic ideal that noble conduct and auspicious qualities are honored within marriage and royalty; a woman of high lineage is to be respected and treated with exceptional regard by her husband and household.
Vaiśampāyana describes and praises a queenly woman, emphasizing her noble birth and her transition into another eminent family through marriage, using the simile of a lotus moving from one lake to another, and noting the special honor she receives from her husband.
