Shloka 15
मत्कृते दुःखमापन्नं क्लेशं प्राप्तमनन्तकम् । कृतं हि तव पुत्रैश्न परेषामवरो धनम् । मत्प्रियार्थ पुरैवैतद् विदितं ते नरोत्तम
matkṛte duḥkham āpannaṃ kleśaṃ prāptam anantakam | kṛtaṃ hi tava putraiś ca pareṣām avaro dhanam | matpriyārthaṃ puraivaitad viditaṃ te narottama ||
ທຸຣະໂຍທະນະ ກ່າວວ່າ: «ເພາະຂ້ອຍ ທ່ານຈຶ່ງຕົກຢູ່ໃນຄວາມໂສກ ແລະພົບຄວາມລໍາບາກບໍ່ມີທີ່ສິ້ນສຸດ. ແທ້ຈິງ ໂດຍລູກຊາຍຂອງທ່ານ ຊັບສິນຂອງຜູ້ອື່ນຖືກຫຼຸດລົງ ແລະຖືກກົດຂີ່. ທັງໝົດນີ້ ໂອ ຜູ້ປະເສີດໃນມະນຸດ ທ່ານຮູ້ມາແຕ່ເດີມ—ເຮັດເພື່ອໃຫ້ຂ້ອຍພໍໃຈ».
दुर्योधन उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse highlights ethical accountability: personal ambition can draw elders and allies into limitless distress, and actions done “to please” a favored person may still be morally blameworthy—especially when they harm others and erode rightful wealth.
In the Udyoga Parva’s pre-war negotiations, Duryodhana speaks to an elder (addressed as “narottama”), acknowledging that the listener has suffered greatly on Duryodhana’s behalf and that the listener’s sons have helped diminish others’ wealth—implying complicity in the Kauravas’ unjust acts leading toward war.
