Bhīmasena’s Admonition to Yudhiṣṭhira on Rājya and the Ordering of Dharma–Artha–Kāma

Book 3, Chapter 34

युधिछिर उवाच असंशयं भारत सत्यमेतद्‌ यन्मां तुदन्‌ वाक्यशल्यै: क्षिणोषि । न त्वां विगहें प्रतिकूलमेव ममानयाद्धि व्यसनं व आगात्‌,युधिष्ठिर बोले--भरतकुलनन्दन! तुम मुझे पीड़ा देते हुए अपने वागूबाणोंद्वारा मेरे हृदयको जो विदीर्ण कर रहे हो, यह निःसंदेह ठीक ही है। मेरे प्रतिकूल होनेपर भी इन बातोंके लिये मैं तुम्हारी निन्दा नहीं करता; क्योंकि मेरे ही अन्यायसे तुमलोगोंपर यह विपत्ति आयी है

yudhiṣṭhira uvāca | asaṃśayaṃ bhārata satyam etad yan māṃ tudan vākyāśalyaiḥ kṣiṇoṣi | na tvāṃ vigahe pratikūlam eva mamānayād dhi vyasanaṃ vāgāt |

Yudhiṣṭhira said: “O Bhārata, without doubt this is true and right—that by piercing me with the barbs of your words you are wearing me down. Even if you speak against me, I do not quarrel with you or condemn you for it; for it is through my own wrongdoing that this calamity has come upon you all.”
