धृतराष्ट्र उवाच । प्राप्तानाहुः संजय पाण्डुपुत्रानुपप्लव्ये तान्विजानीहि गत्वा । अजातशत्रुं च सभाजयेथा दिष्ट्यानघ ग्राममुपस्थितस्त्वम् ॥५-२२-१॥
Dhṛtarāṣṭra said: They say, Sañjaya, that the sons of Pāṇḍu have arrived at Upaplavya—go and ascertain matters there. And you should pay respects to Ajātaśatru (Yudhiṣṭhira). By good fortune, O blameless one, you have reached the settlement.
english translation
सर्वान्वदेः संजय स्वस्तिमन्तः कृच्छ्रं वासमतदर्हा निरुष्य । तेषां शान्तिर्विद्यतेऽस्मासु शीघ्रं मिथ्योपेतानामुपकारिणां सताम्॥५-२२-२॥
Sañjaya, convey greetings of well-being to all. Though they have endured a difficult residence—undeservedly—peaceful settlement is available from us promptly, for those who are virtuous and beneficent, even when they have been met with misrepresentation.
english translation
नाहं क्वचित्संजय पाण्डवानां मिथ्यावृत्तिं कांचन जात्वपश्यम् । सर्वां श्रियं ह्यात्मवीर्येण लब्ध्वा पर्याकार्षुः पाण्डवा मह्यमेव॥५-२२-३॥
Never, Sañjaya, have I observed in the Pāṇḍavas any tendency toward false conduct. Though they have gained all prosperity by their own valor, the Pāṇḍavas have nonetheless shown reverence and allegiance to me alone.
english translation
दोषं ह्येषां नाधिगच्छे परीक्षन्नित्यं कंचिद्येन गर्हेय पार्थान् । धर्मार्थाभ्यां कर्म कुर्वन्ति नित्यं सुखप्रिया नानुरुध्यन्ति कामान्॥५-२२-४॥
Even upon continual examination, I find no fault in them by which I could censure the Pārthas. They act consistently with dharma and artha; though they value well-being, they do not submit themselves to mere desires.
english translation
घर्मं शीतं क्षुत्पिपासे तथैव निद्रां तन्द्रीं क्रोधहर्षौ प्रमादम् । धृत्या चैव प्रज्ञया चाभिभूय धर्मार्थयोगान्प्रयतन्ति पार्थाः॥५-२२-५॥
Heat and cold, hunger and thirst, sleep and lethargy, anger and elation, and negligence—overcoming these through steadiness and discernment, the Pārthas strive for disciplined alignment with dharma and artha.
