Then throughout that whole army the people reproached Krishna and Dhananjaya, while they praised him, the bull among men. Thus reproached, the two Krishnas said nothing unpleasant; and thus praised, he with the sacrificial-post banner did not rejoice. Not enduring in his heart the speech of your sons, O king, who spoke so, and his reproach as well -- yet with mind unangered, in speech as though reminding, O Bharata -- the son of Pandu, Phalguna, spoke as though with reproach.

Krishna and Arjuna, reproached, remain silent, while Bhurishravas, praised, does not rejoice: both censure and glory are met alike by the great in spirit. It is significant that Arjuna answers "asaṃkruddhamanāḥ" -- with mind unangered, as though reminding: a defense without wrath carries more weight than any harsh word. The verse teaches that a mature spirit is unshaken by either the crowd's censure or its praise; and a rebuke should be answered not with anger but with a calm setting-forth of the truth.
