स हि धर्मं च सत्यं च त्यक्त्वा चरति दुर्मतिः । न हि संतप्यते तेन तथारूपेण कर्मणा॥५-७७-६॥
For he, of impaired judgment, acts having abandoned both dharma and truth; and he feels no remorse for deeds of that kind.
english translation
तां चापि बुद्धिं पापिष्ठां वर्धयन्त्यस्य मन्त्रिणः । शकुनिः सूतपुत्रश्च भ्राता दुःशासनस्तथा॥५-७७-७॥
And his counselors further inflame that most harmful intent: Śakuni, the sūta’s son, and likewise his brother Duḥśāsana.
english translation
स हि त्यागेन राज्यस्य न शमं समुपेष्यति । अन्तरेण वधात्पार्थ सानुबन्धः सुयोधनः॥५-७७-८॥
For he will not attain pacification through relinquishing the kingdom; without a decisive neutralization, O Pārtha, Suyodhana together with his adherents will not desist.
english translation
न चापि प्रणिपातेन त्यक्तुमिच्छति धर्मराट् । याच्यमानस्तु राज्यं स न प्रदास्यति दुर्मतिः॥५-७७-९॥
Nor does he wish to relinquish it even upon submission, O Dharmarāṭ; even when requested, that impaired-minded man will not grant the kingdom.
english translation
न तु मन्ये स तद्वाच्यो यद्युधिष्ठिरशासनम् । उक्तं प्रयोजनं तत्र धर्मराजेन भारत॥५-७७-१०॥
But I do not think he is one to be persuaded by that—namely, by Yudhiṣṭhira’s directive; for the purpose has already been stated there by Dharmarāja, O Bhārata.
