ततः कुरूणाम् आचार्यः श्रुत्वा पुत्रस्य ते वचः ॥
सेनां प्रहर्षयन् सर्वाम् इदं वचनम् अब्रवीत् ॥
धन्यः कुन्तीसुतो राजा यस्य ग्रहणम् इच्छसि ॥
न वधार्थं सुदुर्धर्ष वरम् अद्य प्रयाचसि ॥
किमर्थं च नरव्याघ्र न वधं तस्य काङ्क्षसि ॥
नाशंससि क्रियाम् एतां मत्तो दुर्योधन ध्रुवम् ॥
आहो स्विद् धर्मपुत्रस्य द्वेष्टा तस्य न विद्यते ॥
यद् इच्छसि त्वं जीवन्तं कुलं रक्षसि चात्मनि ॥
tataḥ kurūṇām ācāryaḥ śrutvā putrasya te vacaḥ ||
senāṃ praharṣayan sarvām idaṃ vacanam abravīt ||
dhanyaḥ kuntīsuto rājā yasya grahaṇam icchasi ||
na vadhārthaṃ sudurdharṣa varam adya prayācasi ||
kimarthaṃ ca naravyāghra na vadhaṃ tasya kāṅkṣasi ||
nāśaṃsasi kriyām etāṃ matto duryodhana dhruvam ||
āho svid dharmaputrasya dveṣṭā tasya na vidyate ||
yad icchasi tvaṃ jīvantaṃ kulaṃ rakṣasi cātmani ||
Then the preceptor of the Kauravas [Drona], having heard your son's word, gladdening the whole army, spoke this word: "Blessed is King Yudhishthira, son of Kunti, whose capture you desire, and not his death; it is not death you ask for as a boon today, O unassailable one. Why then, tiger among men, do you not desire his death? Surely you are not merely humoring me in this deed, O Duryodhana. Or is there no hater of the son of Dharma [Yudhishthira] in you? Since you desire him alive, you thereby protect your own clan in yourself."

Drona interprets the request in the best possible sense: "you protect your own clan," "there is no hatred in you" -- the teacher credits the pupil with a righteousness that is not there. So a noble heart is blind to another's baseness, seeing goodness in it instead. In this lies both its dignity and its danger: generosity is easy to deceive. It is telling that Drona rejoices at Duryodhana's seeming love of peace -- he longs for reconciliation and so is ready to believe in it. The verse teaches that a pure soul interprets another's deeds for the better, and this is noble, though not always wise; that one who longs for peace sees its signs even where they are absent; and that the trustfulness of the good makes them vulnerable to the cunning of the wicked.
