विररामैवमुक्त्वा तु विदुरो दीनमानसः । प्रध्यायमानः स तदा निःश्वसंश्च पुनः पुनः॥५-१४६-२६॥
Having spoken thus, Vidura fell silent, his mind weighed down. Then he reflected deeply and repeatedly exhaled in distress.
english translation
ततोऽथ राज्ञः सुबलस्य पुत्री धर्मार्थयुक्तं कुलनाशभीता । दुर्योधनं पापमतिं नृशंसं राज्ञां समक्षं सुतमाह कोपात्॥५-१४६-२७॥
Then Subala’s daughter, fearful of the destruction of the lineage and grounded in dharma and practical welfare, addressed her son Duryodhana—whose intentions were ethically compromised and harsh—before the assembled kings, in anger.
english translation
ये पार्थिवा राजसभां प्रविष्टा ब्रह्मर्षयो ये च सभासदोऽन्ये । शृण्वन्तु वक्ष्यामि तवापराधं पापस्य सामात्यपरिच्छदस्य॥५-१४६-२८॥
Let the rulers who have entered the royal assembly, and the brahmarṣis and other members of the court, listen: I will declare your wrongdoing—you who walk in adharma—together with your ministers and retinue.
english translation
राज्यं कुरूणामनुपूर्वभोग्यं क्रमागतो नः कुलधर्म एषः । त्वं पापबुद्धेऽतिनृशंसकर्मन्राज्यं कुरूणामनयाद्विहंसि॥५-१४६-२९॥
The Kuru kingship is to be enjoyed in rightful succession; this is our inherited law of the lineage. But you—of impious judgment and excessively cruel deeds—undermine the Kuru realm through misrule.
english translation
राज्ये स्थितो धृतराष्ट्रो मनीषी तस्यानुजो विदुरो दीर्घदर्शी । एतावतिक्रम्य कथं नृपत्वं दुर्योधन प्रार्थयसेऽद्य मोहात्॥५-१४६-३०॥
Dhṛtarāṣṭra, a prudent man, is established in the kingship, and his younger brother Vidura is far-sighted. Having overstepped even this order, how do you, Duryodhana, seek sovereignty today out of delusion?
