Shloka 28
उद्योगपर्व — अध्याय ९३: कृष्णस्य धृतराष्ट्रोपदेशः
Kṛṣṇa’s Counsel to Dhṛtarāṣṭra in the Assembly
ततः सभां समासाद्य केशवस्यानुयायिन: । सशड्खेैरवेणुनिर्घोषैर्दिश: सर्वा व्यनादयन्,कौरवसभाके समीप पहुँचकर श्रीकृष्णके अनुगामी सेवकोंने शंख और वेणु आदि वाद्योंकी ध्वनिसे सम्पूर्ण दिशाओंको गुँजा दिया
tataḥ sabhāṃ samāsādya keśavasyānuyāyinaḥ | saśaṅkhair veṇunirghoṣair diśaḥ sarvā vyanādayan |
Rồi khi đến gần đại sảnh, các tùy tùng theo Keśava (Kṛṣṇa) làm vang dậy bốn phương bằng tiếng tù và, tiếng sáo và các nhạc khí khác—vừa là lời loan báo Ngài đã đến, vừa là sự phô bày tự tin và uy nghi vương giả trong bối cảnh ngoại giao căng thẳng.
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
Even before words are spoken, conduct and presentation communicate intent. The disciplined service of Kṛṣṇa’s attendants and the ceremonial music signal dignity, confidence, and order—suggesting that dharma in public life includes proper protocol and self-possessed restraint amid looming conflict.
As Kṛṣṇa’s party reaches the Kaurava assembly hall, his followers announce the arrival by sounding conches and flutes, making the entire court and surrounding directions reverberate—setting a charged atmosphere for the ensuing diplomatic encounter.
