न चाहं कंचिदत्यर्थमपराधमरिंदम । विचिन्तयन्प्रपश्यामि सुसूक्ष्ममपि केशव॥५-१२५-६॥

I do not, even upon reflection, perceive any serious offense—nor even a subtle one—committed by me, Keśava, O subduer of enemies.

english translation

प्रियाभ्युपगते द्यूते पाण्डवा मधुसूदन । जिताः शकुनिना राज्यं तत्र किं मम दुष्कृतम्॥५-१२५-७॥

In the dice-game that they themselves accepted as agreeable, Madhusūdana, the Pāṇḍavas were defeated by Śakuni for the kingdom—what wrongful act of mine is there in that?

english translation

यत्पुनर्द्रविणं किंचित्तत्राजीयन्त पाण्डवाः । तेभ्य एवाभ्यनुज्ञातं तत्तदा मधुसूदन॥५-१२५-८॥

And whatever wealth, of any kind, the Pāṇḍavas staked there, that was permitted by them themselves at that time, Madhusūdana.

english translation

अपराधो न चास्माकं यत्ते ह्यक्षपराजिताः । अजेया जयतां श्रेष्ठ पार्थाः प्रव्राजिता वनम्॥५-१२५-९॥

There is no fault on our part in this: that the Pārthas—though unconquerable, O best of victors—were defeated in the game of dice and were sent away to the forest.

english translation

केन चाप्यपवादेन विरुध्यन्तेऽरिभिः सह । अशक्ताः पाण्डवाः कृष्ण प्रहृष्टाः प्रत्यमित्रवत्॥५-१२५-१०॥

And by what alleged pretext do they set themselves in opposition together with their allies? The Pāṇḍavas are not capable, O Kṛṣṇa—yet they are elated, as though they were facing no adversary.
