Yudhiṣṭhira’s Reproof and Vow-Logic: On Dice-Deception, Exile Terms, and the Governance of Anger
Adhyāya 35
राजानो राजपूत्राश्न धृतराष्ट्रमनुव्रता: । न हि ते5प्युपशाम्यन्ति निकृता वा निराकृता:,राजन! इसके सिवा एक बात और है, हमलोगोंने भी बहुत-से राजाओं तथा राजकुमारोंको उनके राज्यसे निकाल दिया है। वे सब आकर राजा धुतराष्ट्रसे मिल गये होंगे, हमने जिनको राज्यसे वंचित किया अथवा निकाला है, वे कदापि हमारे प्रति शान्तभाव नहीं धारण कर सकते
rājāno rājaputrāś ca dhṛtarāṣṭram anuvratāḥ | na hi te 'py upaśāmyanti nikṛtā vā nirākṛtāḥ ||
Bhīma says: “Kings and princes, loyal followers of Dhṛtarāṣṭra, are also there. Those whom we have wronged—either deceived or driven out—will not truly become calm toward us. Such displaced rulers, having lost their realms, are unlikely to bear goodwill; their resentment can be expected to gather around Dhṛtarāṣṭra and strengthen hostility against us.”
