Adhyāya 128 — Proposal to Restrain Keśava; Sātyaki’s Warning and Vidura–Dhṛtarāṣṭra Counsel

“अत: अनायास ही महान्‌ कर्म करनेवाले महाबाहु भगवान्‌ श्रीकृष्णकी शरण लो; क्योंकि भगवान्‌ केशव प्रसन्न होनेपर दोनों ही पक्षोंको सुखी बना सकते हैं ।।

ataḥ anāyāsaḥ hi mahān karma karṇevāle mahābāhu bhagavān śrīkṛṣṇasya śaraṇaṃ lo; yasmāt bhagavān keśavaḥ prasannaḥ bhūtvā ubhayor api pakṣayoḥ sukhīkartum śaknoti. suhṛdām arthakāmānāṃ yo na tiṣṭhati śāsane | prājñānāṃ kṛtavidyānāṃ sa naraḥ śatrunandanaḥ ||

Vì vậy, hãy nương tựa nơi Đức Thế Tôn Śrī Kṛṣṇa, bậc đại lực, làm nên đại nghiệp mà không nhọc nhằn; bởi khi Keśava hoan hỷ, Ngài có thể khiến cả hai phe đều được an vui. Kẻ nào không ở dưới sự chỉ dẫn—không theo lời khuyên—của những bậc hiền trí, học rộng, là thiện hữu chân thành chỉ mong điều lành đích thực cho mình, thì kẻ ấy chính là người làm tăng niềm vui cho kẻ thù.

Educational Q&A

Seek refuge in Kṛṣṇa as the supreme reconciler, and heed the guidance of wise, learned well-wishers; ignoring such counsel harms oneself and effectively serves one’s enemies.

In the Udyoga Parva’s diplomacy and pre-war deliberations, Vaiśampāyana underscores that Kṛṣṇa’s favor can secure welfare for both sides, and he frames refusal to follow good counsel as a self-destructive choice that strengthens opponents.
