'"Today you see the fruit of that grant: you enjoy the whole earth, cleared of thorns by the valiant. Give to the sons of Pandu what is fitting, O subduer of enemies, if you wish to enjoy, together with your ministers, half the dominion of kings. Half the earth and your life together with your ministers is enough for you; standing firm by the word of your friends, you will attain glory, O Bharata. Strife with the Pandavas — glorious, self-possessed, wise, and with senses conquered — my child, will cast you down from great happiness. Restraining the resentment of your friends, rule the kingdom as is fitting, having given your own share to the sons of Pandu, O bull among the Bharatas."'

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.
