प्रियाप्रिये सुखदुःखे च राजन्निन्दाप्रशंसे च भजेत एनम् । परस्त्वेनं गर्हयतेऽपराधे प्रशंसते साधुवृत्तं तमेव॥५-३२-२६॥
In what is pleasant and unpleasant, in comfort and distress, and in blame and praise, O King, one should adhere to this principle. Others censure a person when there is wrongdoing, and they praise that same person when conduct is virtuous.
english translation
स त्वा गर्हे भारतानां विरोधादन्तो नूनं भवितायं प्रजानाम् । नो चेदिदं तव कर्मापराधात्कुरून्दहेत्कृष्णवर्त्मेव कक्षम्॥५-३२-२७॥
Therefore I censure you: from strife among the Bhāratas, the people’s end will surely arise. If not, then through the fault of your wrongful deed it will consume the Kurus—like a line of fire advancing along a darkened path through dry brush.
english translation
त्वमेवैको जातपुत्रेषु राजन्वशं गन्ता सर्वलोके नरेन्द्र । कामात्मनां श्लाघसे द्यूतकाले नान्यच्छमात्पश्य विपाकमस्य॥५-३२-२८॥
You alone among your sons, O King, can bring the whole world under your sway, O lord of men. Yet at the time of gambling you praise those driven by desire; behold its consequence—there is no remedy other than forbearance and self-restraint.
english translation
अनाप्तानां प्रग्रहात्त्वं नरेन्द्र तथाप्तानां निग्रहाच्चैव राजन् । भूमिं स्फीतां दुर्बलत्वादनन्तां न शक्तस्त्वं रक्षितुं कौरवेय॥५-३२-२९॥
By raising up the unfit, O ruler, and restraining the capable, O King, you are, through weakness, unable to protect this vast and flourishing realm, O Kaurava.
english translation
अनुज्ञातो रथवेगावधूतः श्रान्तो निपद्ये शयनं नृसिंह । प्रातः श्रोतारः कुरवः सभायामजातशत्रोर्वचनं समेताः॥५-३२-३०॥
Having been granted leave, shaken by the chariot’s speed and worn with fatigue, I lie down to rest, O lion among men. In the morning the Kurus will assemble in the hall as listeners to the words of Ajātaśatru (Yudhiṣṭhira).
