dhṛtarāṣṭra uvāca | tvaṃ vai jyeṣṭho jyeṣṭhineyaḥ putra mā pāṇḍavān dviṣaḥ | dveṣṭā hi asukham ādatte yathaiva nidhanaṃ tathā ||

Translation

Wika ni Dhṛtarāṣṭra: “Ikaw nga ang panganay, ang pinakamarangal sa iyong mga kapatid, anak ko. Huwag mong kapootan ang mga Pāṇḍava. Sapagkat ang nagkikimkim ng poot ay sa sarili lamang nagdadala ng dalamhati—gaya rin ng tiyak na pagdadala niya ng sariling kapahamakan.”
