Udyoga Parva, Adhyāya 73 — Kr̥ṣṇa’s Appraisal of Bhīma’s Altered Temper and Reaffirmation of Martial Resolve

Devanagari script

अमर्षी जातसंरम्भ: श्रेयोद्वेषी महामना: । नोग्र॑ दुर्योधनो वाच्य: साम्नैवैनं समाचरे:

Translation

Duryodhana est impatient, prompt à l’emportement; il hait ce qui est meilleur et, malgré sa grande âme, il est gonflé d’orgueil. Aussi ne lui adressez pas de paroles dures : efforcez-vous de le ramener par le seul sāma, la persuasion douce.
