Shloka 37
विदुरस्य कृष्णं प्रति शमोपदेशः
Vidura’s Counsel to Krishna on the Limits of Peace
तानुवाच महातेजा: कौरवान् मधुसूदन: । सर्वे भवन्तो गच्छन्तु सर्वा मेड5पचिति: कृता,तब महातेजस्वी मधुसूदनने कौरवोंसे कहा--“आप सब लोग अपने घरोंको जाया; आपके द्वारा मेरा सारा सम्मान सम्पन्न हो गया”
tān uvāca mahātejāḥ kauravān madhusūdanaḥ | sarve bhavanto gacchantu sarvā meḍhāpacitiḥ kṛtā ||
Bấy giờ Madhusūdana rạng ngời bảo các Kaurava: “Tất cả các vị hãy lui về. Mọi lễ kính và sự tiếp đãi xứng đáng dành cho ta, các vị đã làm trọn vẹn rồi.”
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
Even in tense political negotiations, dharma expresses itself through restraint and proper conduct: acknowledging due honor, concluding formalities cleanly, and avoiding needless escalation in speech.
After being received by the Kaurava side, Kṛṣṇa formally addresses them and signals closure of the reception: he tells them they may depart, since the ceremonial honoring of him has been duly completed.
