क्षत्तुर् यदा अन्ववर्तन्त बुद्धिं; कृच्छ्रं कुरून् न तदाभ्याजगाम ॥
यावत् प्रज्ञाम् अन्ववर्तन्त तस्य; तावत् तेषां राष्ट्रवृद्धिर् बभूव ॥
तदर्थलुब्धस्य निबोध मे ऽद्य; ये मन्त्रिणो धार्तराष्ट्रस्य सूत ॥
दुःशासनः शकुनिः सूतपुत्रो; गावल्गणे पश्य संमोहम् अस्य ॥
सो ऽहं न पश्यामि परीक्षमाणः; कथं स्वस्ति स्यात् कुरुसृञ्जयानाम् ॥
आत्तैश्वर्यो धृतराष्ट्रः परेभ्यः; प्रव्राजिते विदुरे दीर्घदृष्टौ ॥
आशंसते वै धृतराष्ट्रः सपुत्रो; महाराज्यम् असपत्नं पृथिव्याम् ॥
तस्मिञ् शमः केवलं नोपलभ्यो; अत्यासन्नं मद्गतं मन्यते ऽर्थम् ॥
यत् तत् कर्णो मन्यते पारणीयं; युद्धे गृहीतायुधम् अर्जुनेन ॥
आसंश् च युद्धानि पुरा महान्ति; कथं कर्णो नाभवद् द्वीप एषाम् ॥
kṣattur yadā anvavartanta buddhiṃ; kṛcchraṃ kurūn na tadābhyājagāma ||
yāvat prajñām anvavartanta tasya; tāvat teṣāṃ rāṣṭravṛddhir babhūva ||
tadarthalubdhasya nibodha me 'dya; ye mantriṇo dhārtarāṣṭrasya sūta ||
duḥśāsanaḥ śakuniḥ sūtaputro; gāvalgaṇe paśya saṃmoham asya ||
so 'haṃ na paśyāmi parīkṣamāṇaḥ; kathaṃ svasti syāt kurusṛñjayānām ||
āttaiśvaryo dhṛtarāṣṭraḥ parebhyaḥ; pravrājite vidure dīrghadṛṣṭau ||
āśaṃsate vai dhṛtarāṣṭraḥ saputro; mahārājyam asapatnaṃ pṛthivyām ||
tasmiñ śamaḥ kevalaṃ nopalabhyo; atyāsannaṃ madgataṃ manyate 'rtham ||
yat tat karṇo manyate pāraṇīyaṃ; yuddhe gṛhītāyudham arjunena ||
āsaṃś ca yuddhāni purā mahānti; kathaṃ karṇo nābhavad dvīpa eṣām ||
For the sake of such a son, King Dhritarashtra has knowingly turned away from virtue and joy. Even then, O Sanjaya, when I was gambling with dice, I thought the destruction of the Kurus was near, for though Vidura spoke those wise and excellent words, he received no praise from Dhritarashtra. Then, O charioteer, calamity befell the Kurus when they disregarded Vidura's words. As long as they followed his wisdom, their kingdom remained in a flourishing state. Hear from me, O charioteer, who are now the counselors of the covetous Duryodhana: Duhshasana, Shakuni the son of Subala, and Karna the suta's son! O son of Gavalgana, behold his folly! Therefore I cannot understand, though I ponder it, how the Kurus and Srinjayas could ever prosper, when Dhritarashtra has seized the throne from others and the far-sighted Vidura has been driven away. Dhritarashtra, together with his sons, now seeks vast and unrivaled dominion over the whole world. For this reason, an unbroken peace cannot be attained.

Dharma reveals itself here through speech, through the choice of an embassy, through faithfulness to one's word, and through the responsibility of kings for the consequences of their decisions.
