अध्याय ८७: कृष्णस्य हस्तिनापुरप्रवेशः
Krishna’s Entry into Hastināpura and Court Reception
््च्खच्-ञॉ्-आऑखचखि ्ज््ज््स्य््ििः कि 2 ् कृष्णमक्लिष्टकर्माणमासाद्यायं सुदुर्मति: । तव पुत्र: सहामात्य: क्षणेन न भविष्यति
bhīṣma uvāca | kṛṣṇam akliṣṭa-karmāṇam āsādya ayaṃ sudurmatī tava putraḥ sahāmātyaḥ kṣaṇena na bhaviṣyati | anāyāsaḥ hi mahān ||
毗湿摩说道：“若这心术邪恶之人——你的儿子——去与克里希纳相抗，面对那位不费力便成就大业者，他必与其群臣顷刻覆灭。因为克里希纳的伟大，乃是不假劳作而自显。”

Educational Q&A
Bhishma teaches that arrogant, unethical resolve (sudurmatī) collapses when it challenges righteous and divinely-supported power. Sound counsel urges restraint and humility: confronting a truly great agent of dharma leads to swift ruin, not glory.
In the Udyoga Parva’s pre-war counsel, Bhishma warns the Kuru king (Dhritarashtra) that his son (Duryodhana), if he chooses to oppose or attack Krishna, will be annihilated instantly along with his advisers—highlighting Krishna’s effortless might and the folly of hostile defiance.
