न हि भीमभयाद्भीता लप्स्यन्ते विजयं विभो । तव पुत्रा महाराज राजानश्चानुसारिणः॥५-५३-१६॥
For, intimidated by fear of Bhīma, your sons, O mighty King, and the allied kings who follow them will not obtain victory.
english translation
मत्स्यास्त्वामद्य नार्चन्ति पाञ्चालाश्च सकेकयाः । शाल्वेयाः शूरसेनाश्च सर्वे त्वामवजानते । पार्थं ह्येते गताः सर्वे वीर्यज्ञास्तस्य धीमतः॥५-५३-१७॥
Today the Matsyas do not honor you, nor the Pāñcālas together with the Kekayas; the Śālveyas and the Śūrasenas as well—all disregard you. For all of them have gone to Pārtha, recognizing the prowess of that intelligent man.
english translation
अनर्हानेव तु वधे धर्मयुक्तान्विकर्मणा । सर्वोपायैर्नियन्तव्यः सानुगः पापपूरुषः । तव पुत्रो महाराज नात्र शोचितुमर्हसि॥५-५३-१८॥
Those who are not fit to be punished, yet abide in dharma, are being wronged by unlawful deeds. That sinful man, together with his followers, must be restrained by every means. Your son, O great King—here there is no cause for grief.
english translation
द्यूतकाले मया चोक्तं विदुरेण च धीमता । यदिदं ते विलपितं पाण्डवान्प्रति भारत । अनीशेनेव राजेन्द्र सर्वमेतन्निरर्थकम्॥५-५३-१९॥
At the time of the dice-game, this was spoken by me and by the wise Vidura: this lament of yours against the Pāṇḍavas, O Bhārata, is wholly futile—like the lament of one without authority, O lord of kings.
