उद्योगपर्व — अध्याय ९३: कृष्णस्य धृतराष्ट्रोपदेशः

Kṛṣṇa’s Counsel to Dhṛtarāṣṭra in the Assembly

निषसादासने कृष्णो राजानश्व यथासनम्‌ | भारत! अर्घ्य ग्रहण करके जब ऋषिलोग उन आसनोंपर बैठ गये, तब भगवान्‌ श्रीकृष्ण तथा अन्य राजाओंने भी अपना-अपना आसन ग्रहण किया

niṣasādāsane kṛṣṇo rājānaś ca yathāsanam | bhārata! arghya-grahaṇaṃ kṛtvā yadā ṛṣayaḥ teṣv āsaneṣu niṣeduḥ, tadā bhagavān śrīkṛṣṇaḥ tathā anye rājānaḥ api sva-svam āsanam agṛhṇan |

ویشَمپاین نے کہا—کِرشن اپنے آسن پر بیٹھ گئے اور راجے بھی دستور کے مطابق اپنی اپنی جگہوں پر بیٹھ گئے۔ اے بھرت کے نسل والے! جب رِشیوں نے اَرجھ (تعظیمی نذر) قبول کر کے اپنے مقررہ آسنوں پر نشست اختیار کر لی، تب بھگوان شری کرشن اور دوسرے راجاؤں نے بھی اپنے اپنے آسن سنبھال لیے۔

Educational Q&A

The verse highlights dharmic decorum: sages are honored first with arghya and proper seating, and only then do Kṛṣṇa and the kings take their seats—showing that spiritual authority and respectful hospitality guide public conduct.

In an assembly setting, the sages receive the arghya and sit on their assigned seats; afterward Śrī Kṛṣṇa and the other kings sit down according to established protocol.
