शर्म तैः सह वा नोऽस्तु तव वा यच्चिकीर्षितम् । विचार्यमाणो यः कामस्तव कृष्ण स नो गुरुः॥५-७६-११॥
Let there be well-being for us—either together with them, or in accordance with whatever course you intend. O Kṛṣṇa, the purpose you are deliberating upon: let that be our guiding authority.
english translation
न स नार्हति दुष्टात्मा वधं ससुतबान्धवः । येन धर्मसुते दृष्ट्वा न सा श्रीरुपमर्षिता॥५-७६-१२॥
That corrupt-minded man does not deserve a death imposed by judgment, nor should his sons and kinsmen be implicated; for even after seeing the son of Dharma, he did not restrain himself from violating royal dignity.
english translation
यच्चाप्यपश्यतोपायं धर्मिष्ठं मधुसूदन । उपायेन नृशंसेन हृता दुर्द्यूतदेविना॥५-७६-१३॥
And further, O Madhusūdana, when he did not perceive a righteous course, she was taken away through a ruthless stratagem by the one devoted to destructive gambling.
english translation
कथं हि पुरुषो जातः क्षत्रियेषु धनुर्धरः । समाहूतो निवर्तेत प्राणत्यागेऽप्युपस्थिते॥५-७६-१४॥
How could a man born among kṣatriyas, a bearer of the bow, withdraw once formally challenged—even when the prospect of death is present?

अधर्मेण जितान्दृष्ट्वा वने प्रव्रजितांस्तथा । वध्यतां मम वार्ष्णेय निर्गतोऽसौ सुयोधनः॥५-७६-१५॥
Seeing them defeated through adharma and then driven into forest exile, O Vārṣṇeya, Suyodhana has now stepped beyond restraint; in my view, he has become liable to the supreme penalty.
