अध्याय ८७: कृष्णस्य हस्तिनापुरप्रवेशः
Krishna’s Entry into Hastināpura and Court Reception
अतः इस विषयमें जो अच्छे उपाय हों, जिनसे श्रीकृष्णको इन बातोंका पता न लगे और मेरे इस मन्तव्यमें कोई विघ्न न पड़ सके, उन्हें आप मुझे बताइये ।।

“因此，此事若有良策，使克里希纳不觉察这些谋议，使我之意图不遭阻碍，请你告我。”毗湿摩波耶那说道：“大王！听闻都律约陀那那番可怖之言——意在欺诳克里希纳——持国王与群臣同在，皆为忧惧所震，心神沮丧。”
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
Schemes rooted in deceit—especially against a righteous messenger like Kṛṣṇa—carry an inherent moral dread (ghoratā) and destabilize the mind. Even when outward power supports wrongdoing, conscience and fear of adharma can surface as inner agitation and dejection.
After Duryodhana’s frightening proposal concerning Kṛṣṇa (a plot to trick or harm him), the narrator reports Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s reaction: he and his ministers are shaken and become despondent, indicating anxiety about the consequences of such a plan.
