Traducción
"Gather the flower that blossoms again and again from the Pandavas, O Bharata, like a gardener in a garden, showing them love time after time. Do not burn them down to the root, like a charcoal-burner with trees; do not go, together with your sons, counselors, and army, to destruction."

Two images are set against each other: the gardener, who picks the flowers and preserves the tree, and the charcoal-burner, who burns the tree to ash. Telling is this distinction between two ways of relating to a good: the wise man makes use of the fruit while preserving the source; the fool destroys the source for a one-time gain. The verse teaches that love is creative while greed is destructive: one grows and gathers again, the other burns down and is left with ashes. Dhritarashtra is free to be the gardener of the Pandavas — reaping their devotion and strength again and again, showing them affection — or to be the charcoal-burner, burning them with enmity and perishing himself. One who preserves what he loves is served by it forever; one who burns it warms himself once and freezes afterward.
