प्रयोजनेषु ये सक्ता न विशेषेषु भारत । तानहं पण्डितान्मन्ये विशेषा हि प्रसङ्गिनः॥५-३८-४१॥
O Bhārata, those who are devoted to what is essential and not to needless distinctions—I deem them wise; for distinctions are often contingent upon occasion and circumstance.
english translation
यं प्रशंसन्ति कितवा यं प्रशंसन्ति चारणाः । यं प्रशंसन्ति बन्धक्यो न स जीवति मानवः॥५-३८-४२॥
He whom gamblers praise, whom panegyrists praise, and whom courtesans praise does not truly live as a human being; for his life is not grounded in dignity and dharma.
english translation
हित्वा तान्परमेष्वासान्पाण्डवानमितौजसः । आहितं भारतैश्वर्यं त्वया दुर्योधने महत्॥५-३८-४३॥
Having set aside those supreme archers—the Pāṇḍavas of immeasurable vigor—you, O Duryodhana, have placed the great sovereignty of the Bhāratas in peril.
english translation
तं द्रक्ष्यसि परिभ्रष्टं तस्मात्त्वं नचिरादिव । ऐश्वर्यमदसंमूढं बलिं लोकत्रयादिव॥५-३८-४४॥
Therefore you will soon see him brought down from his station—like Bali, deluded by the intoxication of sovereignty, cast down from the three worlds.
