पाण्डवार्थे हि लुभ्यन्तः स्वार्थाद्धास्यन्ति ते सुताः । एते चेदेवमिच्छन्ति कृतकार्यो युधिष्ठिरः॥५-१२८-२६॥
If your sons, greedy for what belongs to the Pāṇḍavas, forsake their own true good—and if they persist in that resolve—then Yudhiṣṭhira’s purpose will be fulfilled by the inevitable outcome.
english translation
अद्यैव ह्यहमेतांश्च ये चैताननु भारत । निगृह्य राजन्पार्थेभ्यो दद्यां किं दुष्कृतं भवेत्॥५-१२८-२७॥
Indeed, even today, O Bhārata, if I were to restrain these men—and those who follow them—and hand them over to the sons of Pṛthā, what wrongdoing would that be?
english translation
इदं तु न प्रवर्तेयं निन्दितं कर्म भारत । संनिधौ ते महाराज क्रोधजं पापबुद्धिजम्॥५-१२८-२८॥
But I would not undertake, O Bhārata, in your presence, O great king, this censurable deed—born of anger and of a sinful, distorted intent, contrary to dharma.
english translation
एष दुर्योधनो राजन्यथेच्छति तथास्तु तत् । अहं तु सर्वान्समयाननुजानामि भारत॥५-१२८-२९॥
Let it be, O King, as Duryodhana wishes; but I, O Bhārata, consent to all the agreed conditions—to fair terms and rightful settlements.
english translation
एतच्छ्रुत्वा तु विदुरं धृतराष्ट्रोऽभ्यभाषत । क्षिप्रमानय तं पापं राज्यलुब्धं सुयोधनम्॥५-१२८-३०॥
Hearing this, Dhṛtarāṣṭra addressed Vidura: “Quickly bring Suyodhana—that blameworthy man, greedy for sovereignty.”
