Duryodhana-vadha-pratikriyā: Harṣa, Nindā, and Kṛṣṇa’s Nīti-vyākhyā (Śalya-parva 60)

तेषां वृद्धया हि वृद्धिनों मा क्रुध: पुरुषर्षभ । “अत: प्रलम्बहन्ता बलभद्रजी! मैं इसमें भीमसेनका कोई दोष नहीं देखता; इसलिये आप क्रोध न कीजिये। हमारा पाण्डवोंके साथ यौन-सम्बन्ध तो है ही। परस्पर सुख देनेवाले सौहार्दसे भी हमलोग बँधे हुए हैं। पुरुषप्रवर! इन पाण्डवोंकी वृद्धिसे हमारी भी वृद्धि है, अतः आप क्रोध न करें"

teṣāṁ vṛddhyā hi vṛddhir no mā krudhaḥ puruṣarṣabha | ataḥ pralambahantā balabhadra-jī na cātra bhīmasenasya kaścid doṣo mayā dṛśyate | tasmān mā roṣaṁ kṛthāḥ | asmākaṁ pāṇḍavaiḥ saha bandhur-bhāvo 'sti | paraspara-sukha-pradāyinaḥ sauhārdena ca vayaṁ baddhāḥ | puruṣa-pravara pāṇḍavānāṁ vṛddhyā asmākam api vṛddhir bhavati iti mā krudhaḥ ||

Sañjaya dit : «Quand leur prospérité grandit, la nôtre grandit aussi ; c’est pourquoi, ô le meilleur des hommes, ne te mets pas en colère. Ô meurtrier de Pralamba, Balabhadra (Balarama), je ne vois aucune faute en Bhīmasena en cette affaire ; retiens donc ton courroux. Nous sommes liés aux Pāṇḍava par la parenté, et aussi par une bienveillance réciproque qui nous apporte le bonheur. Ô le plus éminent des hommes, l’élévation des Pāṇḍava est aussi la nôtre ; ne t’irrite donc pas.»

Educational Q&A

Anger should be restrained when it harms rightful relationships and shared welfare. Sanjaya argues ethically and pragmatically: kinship and mutual goodwill bind them to the Pandavas, and the Pandavas’ prosperity directly supports their own; therefore blaming Bhima is unjust and counterproductive.

In the Shalya Parva war setting, Sanjaya addresses Balabhadra (Balarama), urging him not to become angry at Bhimasena. He frames the issue as one of alliance and family ties with the Pandavas, emphasizing that their rise benefits their relatives and friends as well.
