Shloka 49
तवैव दोषाद् दुर्बुद्धे सर्वमेतत् त्वनावृतम् । स गच्छ मा चिरं तात उलूक यदि मन्यसे,इह वा तिष्ठ भद्रं ते वयं हि तव बान्धवा: । 'किंतु दुर्बुद्धे! यह सब कुछ तेरे ही दोषसे प्राप्त हुआ है। तात उलूक! तेरी इच्छा हो, तो शीघ्र चला जा। अथवा तेरा कल्याण हो, तू यहीं रह; क्योंकि हम भी तेरे भाई-बन्धु ही हैं!
tavaiva doṣād durbuddhe sarvam etat tvanāvṛtam | sa gaccha mā ciraṃ tāta ulūka yadi manyase, iha vā tiṣṭha bhadraṃ te vayaṃ hi tava bāndhavāḥ |
قال سانجيا: «يا ضعيف الرأي، إنّ هذا كلَّه إنما وقع بذنْبك وحدك، وقد انكشف الآن بلا ستر. فامضِ يا عزيزَنا أولوكا—ولا تُبطئ—إن رأيت ذلك أصلح. أو أقم هنا؛ ليحلّ عليك الخير، فنحن أيضًا من ذوي قرباك.»

Educational Q&A
The verse stresses moral accountability: calamity and public disgrace arise from one’s own wrongdoing and poor judgment. Even amid hostility, the speaker maintains a restrained, kin-based civility—offering the other party freedom to depart or remain—showing that ethical speech can coexist with political conflict.
Sañjaya addresses Ulūka (Duryodhana’s messenger), rebuking him for foolishness and stating that the situation has become openly manifest due to his own side’s fault. He then dismisses him—inviting him to leave promptly if he wishes, or to stay—adding that they still regard him as a kinsman.
