janmaprabhṛti cāsmākaṃ pitā te pāpapūruṣaḥ | ahitāni nṛśaṃsāni nityaśaḥ kartum icchati ||
Санджая сказал: «С самого нашего рождения твой отец — греховный и жестокий по природе — изо дня в день неизменно желал причинить нам вред, предаваясь беспощадным делам вражды.»

Educational Q&A
The verse frames persistent cruelty and deliberate harm as morally blameworthy (pāpa, nṛśaṃsa). It highlights an ethical judgment: sustained intent to injure others is a sign of adharma and corrodes rightful conduct in relationships and politics.
Sañjaya addresses Ulūka, accusing Ulūka’s father of having harbored hostility toward “us” since their earliest days, repeatedly seeking to commit harmful and ruthless acts—setting a tone of entrenched enmity that fuels the larger conflict.
