तदैव निहतो राजन्यदैव निरपत्रपः । निन्दितश्च महाराज पृथिव्यां सर्वराजसु॥५-७१-२१॥
O King, he was in truth defeated at that very moment when he became shameless; and, O great king, he was censured across the earth among all rulers.

ईषत्कार्यो वधस्तस्य यस्य चारित्रमीदृशम् । प्रस्कम्भनप्रतिस्तब्धश्छिन्नमूल इव द्रुमः॥५-७१-२२॥
The lawful removal of one whose conduct is such is but a slight necessity; he is like a tree held rigid by props, yet severed at the root.

That ignoble man, whose perverse judgment harms all people, is fit to be cut down like a serpent. Remove him, O slayer of foes; do not hesitate, O king.

In every way this is fitting for you and has my approval as well, O blameless one: that you should offer reverent obeisance to your father and to Bhīṣma.

अहं तु सर्वलोकस्य गत्वा छेत्स्यामि संशयम् । येषामस्ति द्विधाभावो राजन्दुर्योधनं प्रति॥५-७१-२५॥
But I will go and dispel the doubt of all, O king—of those whose minds remain divided concerning Duryodhana.
