योऽसत्सेवी वृथाचारो न श्रोता सुहृदां सदा । परान्वृणीते स्वान्द्वेष्टि तं गौः शपति भारत॥५-१२२-२६॥

One who serves the unworthy, lives without discipline, and never heeds well-wishing friends—who chooses outsiders and despises his own—such a person, O Bhārata, is said to incur a heavy curse, a severe moral consequence.

english translation

स त्वं विरुध्य तैर्वीरैरन्येभ्यस्त्राणमिच्छसि । अशिष्टेभ्योऽसमर्थेभ्यो मूढेभ्यो भरतर्षभ॥५-१२२-२७॥

Yet you, having set yourself against those heroes, seek protection from others—people without discipline, without ability, and without sound judgment, O bull among the Bharatas.

english translation

को हि शक्रसमाञ्ज्ञातीनतिक्रम्य महारथान् । अन्येभ्यस्त्राणमाशंसेत्त्वदन्यो भुवि मानवः॥५-१२२-२८॥

For what person on earth other than you would hope for protection from others, after disregarding kinsmen who are great chariot-warriors, comparable to Śakra (Indra)?

english translation

जन्मप्रभृति कौन्तेया नित्यं विनिकृतास्त्वया । न च ते जातु कुप्यन्ति धर्मात्मानो हि पाण्डवाः॥५-१२२-२९॥

From early life onward, the sons of Kuntī have continually been wronged by you; yet they never become enraged, for the Pāṇḍavas are devoted to dharma.

english translation

मिथ्याप्रचरितास्तात जन्मप्रभृति पाण्डवाः । त्वयि सम्यङ्महाबाहो प्रतिपन्ना यशस्विनः॥५-१२२-३०॥

O dear one, from their very childhood the Pāṇḍavas have been treated unjustly; yet those illustrious men have maintained proper conduct toward you, O strong-armed one.
