सम्यग्वृत्तेष्वलुब्धेषु सततं धर्मचारिषु । स्वेषु बन्धुषु कः साधुश्चरेदेवमसांप्रतम्॥५-१२६-११॥

Among one’s own relatives—upright in conduct, free from greed, and ever practicing dharma—what good person would behave in so improper a manner?

english translation

नृशंसानामनार्याणां परुषाणां च भाषणम् । कर्णदुःशासनाभ्यां च त्वया च बहुशः कृतम्॥५-१२६-१२॥

Harsh and ignoble speech—cruel and abrasive—has been repeatedly employed by Karṇa and Duḥśāsana, and by you as well.

english translation

सह मात्रा प्रदग्धुं तान्बालकान्वारणावते । आस्थितः परमं यत्नं न समृद्धं च तत्तव॥५-१२६-१३॥

You undertook an extreme effort to have those young princes, together with their mother, destroyed at Vāraṇāvata; yet that plan of yours did not succeed.

english translation

ऊषुश्च सुचिरं कालं प्रच्छन्नाः पाण्डवास्तदा । मात्रा सहैकचक्रायां ब्राह्मणस्य निवेशने॥५-१२६-१४॥

At that time the Pāṇḍavas lived for a long period in concealment, together with their mother, at Ekacakrā, in the dwelling of a brāhmaṇa.

english translation

विषेण सर्पबन्धैश्च यतिताः पाण्डवास्त्वया । सर्वोपायैर्विनाशाय न समृद्धं च तत्तव॥५-१२६-१५॥

By poison and by contrivances involving serpents, you attempted—through every means—to bring about the Pāṇḍavas’ destruction; yet that plan of yours did not succeed.
