न पाण्डवानामस्माभिः प्रतिदेयं यथोचितम् । इति व्यवसितास्तेषु वचनं स्यान्निरर्थकम्॥५-९०-११॥
“Nothing fitting should be returned to the Pāṇḍavas by us”—having resolved thus, any speech to them would become futile.
english translation
यत्र सूक्तं दुरुक्तं च समं स्यान्मधुसूदन । न तत्र प्रलपेत्प्राज्ञो बधिरेष्विव गायनः॥५-९०-१२॥
O Madhusūdana, where well-spoken counsel and ill-spoken talk are treated as the same, a wise person should not speak at length—like a singer among the deaf.
english translation
अविजानत्सु मूढेषु निर्मर्यादेषु माधव । न त्वं वाक्यं ब्रुवन्युक्तश्चाण्डालेषु द्विजो यथा॥५-९०-१३॥
O Mādhava, among the ignorant, deluded, and unrestrained, it is not fitting for you to offer counsel—just as a learned twice-born would not properly give refined instruction among caṇḍālas.
english translation
सोऽयं बलस्थो मूढश्च न करिष्यति ते वचः । तस्मिन्निरर्थकं वाक्यमुक्तं संपत्स्यते तव॥५-९०-१४॥
This man, secure in power and deluded, will not act upon your words; therefore, what you say to him will prove futile.
english translation
तेषां समुपविष्टानां सर्वेषां पापचेतसाम् । तव मध्यावतरणं मम कृष्ण न रोचते॥५-९०-१५॥
When all those ill-intentioned men are seated together, your entering into their midst does not commend itself to me, O Kṛṣṇa.
