इदं पुनर्वचनं धार्तराष्ट्रं सुयोधनं संजय श्रावयेथाः । यस्ते शरीरे हृदयं दुनोति कामः कुरूनसपत्नोऽनुशिष्याम्॥५-३०-४६॥

And this further statement you should have heard by Suyodhana, the Dhārtarāṣṭra, O Sañjaya: ‘I will instruct and restrain that desire which, within your body, troubles your heart—the desire to rule the Kurus without a rival.’

english translation

न विद्यते युक्तिरेतस्य काचिन्नैवंविधाः स्याम यथा प्रियं ते । ददस्व वा शक्रपुरं ममैव युध्यस्व वा भारतमुख्य वीर॥५-३०-४७॥

There is no rationale in this: we cannot be such as to act merely according to what is pleasing to you. Either grant me Śakrapura itself, or else enter a formal contest, O foremost hero among the Bhāratas.
