अकस्माद्द्विषसे राजञ्जन्मप्रभृति पाण्डवान् । प्रियानुवर्तिनो भ्रातॄन्सर्वैः समुदितान्गुणैः॥५-८९-२६॥

Without just cause, O king, you have harbored hostility toward the Pāṇḍavas from their very birth—brothers agreeable in conduct and endowed with every virtue.

english translation

अकस्माच्चैव पार्थानां द्वेषणं नोपपद्यते । धर्मे स्थिताः पाण्डवेयाः कस्तान्किं वक्तुमर्हति॥५-८९-२७॥

Indeed, hostility toward the Pārthas is not defensible without cause. The Pāṇḍavas stand established in dharma—who could rightly speak against them, and on what grounds?

english translation

यस्तान्द्वेष्टि स मां द्वेष्टि यस्ताननु स मामनु । ऐकात्म्यं मां गतं विद्धि पाण्डवैर्धर्मचारिभिः॥५-८९-२८॥

Whoever is hostile to them is hostile to me; whoever follows them follows me. Know that I have entered into unity of purpose with the dharma-practicing Pāṇḍavas.

english translation

कामक्रोधानुवर्ती हि यो मोहाद्विरुरुत्सते । गुणवन्तं च यो द्वेष्टि तमाहुः पुरुषाधमम्॥५-८९-२९॥

One who follows desire and anger and, through delusion, turns hostile—and who bears enmity toward a virtuous person—is called the lowest among men.

english translation

यः कल्याणगुणाञ्ज्ञातीन्मोहाल्लोभाद्दिदृक्षते । सोऽजितात्माजितक्रोधो न चिरं तिष्ठति श्रियम्॥५-८९-३०॥

One who, through delusion and greed, seeks to harm kinsmen endowed with auspicious virtues—having not mastered himself and not mastered anger—does not retain prosperity for long.
