समं हि राज्यं प्रीतिश्च स्थानं च विजितात्मनाम् । पाण्डवेष्वथ युष्मासु धर्मस्त्वभ्यधिकस्ततः॥५-१२७-५१॥

For those who have conquered themselves, kingdom, affection, and station are to be held in balance; yet between the Pāṇḍavas and you, Dharma stands greater on their side.

english translation

राजपिण्डभयादेते यदि हास्यन्ति जीवितम् । न हि शक्ष्यन्ति राजानं युधिष्ठिरमुदीक्षितुम्॥५-१२७-५२॥

Even if, fearing their royal stipends, these men were to give up their lives, they still would not be able to stand before King Yudhiṣṭhira.

english translation

न लोभादर्थसंपत्तिर्नराणामिह दृश्यते । तदलं तात लोभेन प्रशाम्य भरतर्षभ॥५-१२७-५३॥

In this world, material prosperity is not seen to arise from greed. Therefore, dear one—O best of the Bhāratas—enough of greed; be pacified and calm.
