उद्योगपर्व — अध्याय ९३: कृष्णस्य धृतराष्ट्रोपदेशः

Kṛṣṇa’s Counsel to Dhṛtarāṣṭra in the Assembly

निषसादासने कृष्णो राजानश्व यथासनम्‌ | भारत! अर्घ्य ग्रहण करके जब ऋषिलोग उन आसनोंपर बैठ गये, तब भगवान्‌ श्रीकृष्ण तथा अन्य राजाओंने भी अपना-अपना आसन ग्रहण किया

niṣasādāsane kṛṣṇo rājānaś ca yathāsanam | bhārata! arghya-grahaṇaṃ kṛtvā yadā ṛṣayaḥ teṣv āsaneṣu niṣeduḥ, tadā bhagavān śrīkṛṣṇaḥ tathā anye rājānaḥ api sva-svam āsanam agṛhṇan |

毗湿摩波耶那说道:克里希纳坐上了自己的座位,诸王也依礼各就其位。噢,婆罗多的后裔啊!当诸仙人受纳阿尔伽亚——敬礼之供——并坐定于分配的席位之后,吉祥的室利·克里希纳与其他诸王也各自就座。

Educational Q&A

The verse highlights dharmic decorum: sages are honored first with arghya and proper seating, and only then do Kṛṣṇa and the kings take their seats—showing that spiritual authority and respectful hospitality guide public conduct.

In an assembly setting, the sages receive the arghya and sit on their assigned seats; afterward Śrī Kṛṣṇa and the other kings sit down according to established protocol.
