राज्ञो हि धृतराष्ट्रस्य सर्वं कार्यं प्रियं मया । तथा दुर्योधनस्यापि स हि राज्ये समाहितः॥५-४८-३१॥

For King Dhṛtarāṣṭra, every undertaking is agreeable to me; and likewise for Duryodhana, for he is firmly established in the governance of the realm.

वैशंपायन उवाच । कर्णस्य तु वचः श्रुत्वा भीष्मः शांतनवः पुनः । धृतराष्ट्रं महाराजमाभाष्येदं वचोऽब्रवीत्॥५-४८-३२॥

Vaiśaṃpāyana said: Having heard Karṇa’s words, Bhīṣma, the son of Śāṃtanu, again addressed the great king Dhṛtarāṣṭra and spoke these words.

As for the way he continually boasts, “I will neutralize the Pāṇḍavas,” he is not even a fraction equal to the great-souled Pāṇḍavas.

अनयो योऽयमागन्ता पुत्राणां ते दुरात्मनाम् । तदस्य कर्म जानीहि सूतपुत्रस्य दुर्मतेः॥५-४८-३४॥

This adverse course that has come upon your ill-conducted sons—understand it as the consequence of the charioteer’s son, of misguided judgment.

एनमाश्रित्य पुत्रस्ते मन्दबुद्धिः सुयोधनः । अवमन्यत तान्वीरान्देवपुत्रानरिंदमान्॥५-४८-३५॥

Relying on him, your son Suyodhana, of limited discernment, came to hold in contempt those heroes—sons of the gods—who subdue their adversaries.
