Shloka 10
अद्य राज्यात् सुखाच्चैव श्रियो राष्ट्रात् तथा पुरात् पुत्रेभ्यश्ष महाबाहो धृतराष्ट्रो विमोक्ष्यति
adya rājyāt sukhāc caiva śriyo rāṣṭrāt tathā purāt putrebhyaś ca mahābāho dhṛtarāṣṭro vimokṣyati

The verse underscores the ethical and political consequence of adharma in rulership: attachment to power and partiality toward one’s own leads to inevitable ruin—loss of sovereignty, prosperity, and even family—when justice and right order are violated.
Sañjaya, reporting the battlefield events to the blind king Dhṛtarāṣṭra, foretells that the day’s developments will effectively strip Dhṛtarāṣṭra of everything that defines his reign—kingdom, comfort, wealth, territory, capital, and his sons—signaling the collapse of the Kaurava cause.
