व्यास उवाच । दयितोऽसि राजन्कृष्णस्य धृतराष्ट्र निबोध मे । यस्य ते संजयो दूतो यस्त्वां श्रेयसि योक्ष्यते॥५-६७-११॥

Vyāsa said: O king Dhṛtarāṣṭra, understand from me: you are dear to Kṛṣṇa; therefore Sañjaya is your messenger—he will guide you toward what is beneficial.

english translation

जानात्येष हृषीकेशं पुराणं यच्च वै नवम् । शुश्रूषमाणमेकाग्रं मोक्ष्यते महतो भयात्॥५-६७-१२॥

He knows Hṛṣīkeśa—what is ancient and what is new; serving with single-pointed attention, he is released from great fear.

english translation

वैचित्रवीर्य पुरुषाः क्रोधहर्षतमोवृताः । सिता बहुविधैः पाशैर्ये न तुष्टाः स्वकैर्धनैः॥५-६७-१३॥

O descendants of Vicitravīrya, those persons who are shrouded in anger, elation, and darkness—who are not content with their own wealth—are bound by many kinds of snares.

english translation

यमस्य वशमायान्ति काममूढाः पुनः पुनः । अन्धनेत्रा यथैवान्धा नीयमानाः स्वकर्मभिः॥५-६७-१४॥

Those deluded by desire repeatedly come under the control of Yama; like the blind led by the blind, they are carried along by their own actions.

english translation

एष एकायनः पन्था येन यान्ति मनीषिणः । तं दृष्ट्वा मृत्युमत्येति महांस्तत्र न सज्जते॥५-६७-१५॥

This is the one path by which the discerning proceed; seeing it, a great person transcends death and does not become attached there.
