Dhṛtarāṣṭra–Duryodhana Saṃvāda on Restraint and Rājānīti
Chapter 50
तत्र मां प्राहसत् कृष्ण: पार्थेन सह सुस्वरम् | द्रौपदी च सह स्त्रीभिव्यथयन्ती मनो मम
tatra māṃ prāhasat kṛṣṇaḥ pārthena saha susvaram | draupadī ca saha strībhir vyathayantī mano mama |
在那里，黑天（Kṛṣṇa）与帕尔塔（阿周那）一同望向我，放声大笑。德罗帕蒂也与众女眷一起笑着，那笑声如刀，直刺我心。

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights how wounded pride and the memory of public ridicule can become a powerful fuel for unethical choices. It also cautions that mockery in a royal or social setting can deepen hostility and set the stage for later conflict.
Duryodhana recounts an incident in the royal setting where Kṛṣṇa and Arjuna laugh while looking at him, and Draupadī with other women also laughs, which he experiences as a painful humiliation. This recollection functions as a psychological motive behind his growing resentment.
