अनुवाद
"Duryodhana, you must not be angry with Yudhishthira; for the Pandavas always enjoy [only] their own share. Not once before have you attempted [against them] by many means -- and the tiger-like men escaped, protected by their [good] portion."

The cunning counselor begins with a half-truth: the Pandavas, he says, enjoy only 'their own share.' It is notable that even a true word, in Shakuni's mouth, serves evil: he acknowledges their protection from above -- 'kept safe by their portion' -- not to submit before it, but to devise a way around it. The verse teaches us to recognize cunning that clothes itself in reasonableness: a wicked counselor does not dispute the obvious but skillfully turns it to his own purpose. And the very admission that past plots failed, because the Pandavas are 'kept safe by their portion,' should serve as a warning -- but malice is not instructed by the lesson, and only seeks a new path to the same sin.
