युधिष्ठिरो राजपुत्रो महात्मा न्यायागतं राज्यमिदं च तस्य । स कौरवस्यास्य जनस्य भर्ता प्रशासिता चैव महानुभावः॥५-१४७-३१॥
Yudhiṣṭhira, the royal son and high-minded one—this kingdom has come to him by justice and right. He is the protector of this Kaurava people and, indeed, a ruler of great stature.
english translation
स सत्यसंधः सतताप्रमत्तः शास्त्रे स्थितो बन्धुजनस्य साधुः । प्रियः प्रजानां सुहृदानुकम्पी जितेन्द्रियः साधुजनस्य भर्ता॥५-१४७-३२॥
He is steadfast in truth, consistently vigilant, grounded in the normative teachings, and well-disposed toward his kin. He is beloved of the subjects, compassionate to friends, self-controlled, and a protector of the virtuous.
english translation
क्षमा तितिक्षा दम आर्जवं च सत्यव्रतत्वं श्रुतमप्रमादः । भूतानुकम्पा ह्यनुशासनं च युधिष्ठिरे राजगुणाः समस्ताः॥५-१४७-३३॥
Forbearance, endurance, self-restraint, and straightforwardness; a vow to truth, learning, and vigilant care; compassion for all beings and the power to govern with discipline—every royal virtue is found in Yudhiṣṭhira.
english translation
अराजपुत्रस्त्वमनार्यवृत्तो लुब्धस्तथा बन्धुषु पापबुद्धिः । क्रमागतं राज्यमिदं परेषां हर्तुं कथं शक्ष्यसि दुर्विनीतः॥५-१४७-३४॥
You do not act as a true royal heir: your conduct is ignoble, driven by greed, and ill-intentioned even toward your own kin. How could you, lacking discipline, seize this kingdom that by rightful succession has come to others?
english translation
प्रयच्छ राज्यार्धमपेतमोहः सवाहनं त्वं सपरिच्छदं च । ततोऽवशेषं तव जीवितस्य सहानुजस्यैव भवेन्नरेन्द्र॥५-१४७-३५॥
Give half the kingdom, freed from delusion, together with conveyances and all requisite resources. Then the remainder of your life, along with your younger brothers, may be secure, O lord of men.
