अलम् अह्ना निकारो ऽयं त्रयोदश समाः कृतः ॥
शमयैनं महाप्राज्ञ कामक्रोधसमेधितम् ॥
न चैष शक्तः पार्थानां यस् त्वदर्थम् अभीप्सति ॥
सूतपुत्रो दृढक्रोधो भ्राता दुःशासनश् च ते ॥
भीष्मे द्रोणे कृपे कर्णे भीमसेने धनंजये ॥
धृष्टद्युम्ने च संक्रुद्धे न स्युः सर्वाः प्रजा ध्रुवम् ॥
अमर्षवशम् आपन्नो मा कुरूंस् तात जीघनः ॥
सर्वा हि पृथिवी स्पृष्टा त्वत् पाण्डवकृते वधम् ॥
यच् च त्वं मन्यसे मूढ भीष्मद्रोणकृपादयः ॥
योत्स्यन्ते सर्वशक्त्येति नैतद् अद्योपपद्यते ॥
alam ahnā nikāro 'yaṃ trayodaśa samāḥ kṛtaḥ ||
śamayainaṃ mahāprājña kāmakrodhasamedhitam ||
na caiṣa śaktaḥ pārthānāṃ yas tvadartham abhīpsati ||
sūtaputro dṛḍhakrodho bhrātā duḥśāsanaś ca te ||
bhīṣme droṇe kṛpe karṇe bhīmasene dhanaṃjaye ||
dhṛṣṭadyumne ca saṃkruddhe na syuḥ sarvāḥ prajā dhruvam ||
amarṣavaśam āpanno mā kurūṃs tāta jīghanaḥ ||
sarvā hi pṛthivī spṛṣṭā tvat pāṇḍavakṛte vadham ||
yac ca tvaṃ manyase mūḍha bhīṣmadroṇakṛpādayaḥ ||

'"Enough of this daily humiliation, inflicted now for thirteen years; calm it, O greatly wise one, this thing swollen by desire and anger. The son of the charioteer, firm in his wrath, and your brother Duhshasana, who wish your good against the Parthas, are not capable of this. When Bhishma, Drona, Kripa, Karna, Bhimasena, Dhananjaya, and Dhrishtadyumna are enraged, surely no people at all would remain. Having fallen under the sway of intolerance, my child, do not seek to destroy the Kurus. For the whole earth is touched by the destruction to come because of you and the Pandavas. And as for what you think, O fool — that Bhishma, Drona, Kripa, and the rest will fight with all their might — that is not true today."'

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.
