उद्योगपर्व — अध्याय ८१: कृष्णस्य दूतप्रयाणम्
Udyoga Parva, Chapter 81: Krishna Sets Out as Envoy
प्माक्षी पुण्डरीकाक्षमुपेत्य गजगामिनी । अश्रुपूर्णेक्षणा कृष्णा कृष्णं वचनमब्रवीत्
vaiśampāyana uvāca | pramākṣī puṇḍarīkākṣam upetya gajagāminī | aśrupūrṇekṣaṇā kṛṣṇā kṛṣṇaṃ vacanam abravīt ||
毗湿摩耶那说道：于是，黑公主克里希娜（德罗帕蒂）步态雍容，如象之行，走近莲目者普恩达利卡克沙（圣克里希那）。她双眸盈泪，以悲痛与法义的迫切所生之言对克里希那陈诉——在那步步逼近、终将引向战争的危局之中，求取合乎正法的伸冤与裁断。
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse frames moral appeal as a legitimate response to injustice: Draupadī, overwhelmed yet composed, seeks guidance from Kṛṣṇa, implying that dharma is pursued not only through power but through rightful counsel, accountability, and ethical redress.
In the Udyoga Parva’s build-up to the Kurukṣetra war, Draupadī approaches Kṛṣṇa with tear-filled eyes and begins to speak, setting up a plea or argument that will press for justice and action amid failed reconciliation.
