दुर्योधन उवाच । यदाह विदुरः कृष्णे सर्वं तत्सत्यमुच्यते । अनुरक्तो ह्यसंहार्यः पार्थान्प्रति जनार्दनः॥५-८६-१॥
Duryodhana said: Whatever Vidura has said regarding Kṛṣṇa is all spoken as truth. For Janārdana is devoted to the Pārthas and is not to be overcome in contest.
english translation
यत्तु सत्कारसंयुक्तं देयं वसु जनार्दने । अनेकरूपं राजेन्द्र न तद्देयं कदाचन॥५-८६-२॥
But as for wealth to be bestowed upon Janārdana together with formal honors—of many kinds, O lord of kings—that must never be given.
english translation
देशः कालस्तथायुक्तो न हि नार्हति केशवः । मंस्यत्यधोक्षजो राजन्भयादर्चति मामिति॥५-८६-३॥
Neither the place nor the time is, in that manner, suitable for Keśava. The Adhokṣaja, O King, would think: ‘He is honoring me out of fear.’
english translation
अवमानश्च यत्र स्यात्क्षत्रियस्य विशां पते । न तत्कुर्याद्बुधः कार्यमिति मे निश्चिता मतिः॥५-८६-४॥
Where there would be humiliation for a kṣatriya, O lord of the people, a wise person should not undertake that course of action—this is my settled view.
english translation
स हि पूज्यतमो देवः कृष्णः कमललोचनः । त्रयाणामपि लोकानां विदितं मम सर्वथा॥५-८६-५॥
For Kṛṣṇa, lotus-eyed, is indeed the most venerable divine figure; this is fully known to me, even with respect to the three worlds.
