एतान्यस्य मृषोक्तानि बहूनि भरतर्षभ । विकत्थनस्य भद्रं ते सदा धर्मार्थलोपिनः॥५-४८-४१॥
O bull among the Bharatas, many of these are his false utterances—mere boastful talk—coming from one who habitually undermines both dharma and artha.

Having heard Bhīṣma’s words, the great-minded Bhāradvāja addressed Dhṛtarāṣṭra in the midst of the kings, honoring him with due respect.

O king, let what Bhīṣma, the foremost of the Bharatas, has said be carried out. You ought not comply with the words of those driven by desire and greed for gain.

Before any engagement in war, I deem it proper to seek a meeting with the Pāṇḍavas—especially in light of the statement spoken by Arjuna and reported by Sañjaya.
