याभ्यां हि देवाः स्वर्यातुः स्वर्गस्यापिदधुर् मुखम् ॥
बिभ्यतो ऽनुपरागस्य कामक्रोधौ स्म वर्धितौ ॥
कामं क्रोधं च लोभं च दम्भं दर्पं च भूमिपः ॥
सम्यग् विजेतुं यो वेद स महीम् अभिजायते ॥
सततं निग्रहे युक्त इन्द्रियाणां भवेन् नृपः ॥
ईप्सन्न् अर्थं च धर्मं च द्विषतां च पराभवम् ॥
कामाभिभूतः क्रोधाद् वा यो मिथ्या प्रतिपद्यते ॥
स्वेषु चान्येषु वा तस्य न सहाया भवन्त्य् उत ॥
एकीभूतैर् महाप्राज्ञैः शूरैर् अरिनिबर्हणैः ॥

'"By these two — desire and anger — the gods closed the gate of heaven against one who wished to go to heaven, when, in his fear, attachment, desire, and anger grew within him. The lord of the earth who knows how to rightly conquer desire, anger, greed, hypocrisy, and arrogance is born to rule the earth. A king who desires profit, dharma, and the defeat of his enemies should always be engaged in restraining his senses. Whoever, overcome by desire or anger, behaves falsely toward his own people or toward others, will have no helpers. Together with the united Pandavas — greatly wise, heroic, and destroyers of enemies — you, my child, will happily enjoy the earth."'

Gandhari speaks as a mother and as the bearer of sober dharma: a kingdom cannot be held by will alone if a man has not conquered his own senses. The essence of her speech is not an emotional plea but a political-ethical diagnosis: desire, anger, and greed strip Duryodhana of his helpers, destroy the family, and make war inevitable.
