Duryodhana-vadha-pratikriyā: Harṣa, Nindā, and Kṛṣṇa’s Nīti-vyākhyā (Śalya-parva 60)
तेषां वृद्धया हि वृद्धिनों मा क्रुध: पुरुषर्षभ । “अत: प्रलम्बहन्ता बलभद्रजी! मैं इसमें भीमसेनका कोई दोष नहीं देखता; इसलिये आप क्रोध न कीजिये। हमारा पाण्डवोंके साथ यौन-सम्बन्ध तो है ही। परस्पर सुख देनेवाले सौहार्दसे भी हमलोग बँधे हुए हैं। पुरुषप्रवर! इन पाण्डवोंकी वृद्धिसे हमारी भी वृद्धि है
teṣāṁ vṛddhyā hi vṛddhir no mā krudhaḥ puruṣarṣabha | ataḥ pralambahantā balabhadra-jī na cātra bhīmasenasya kaścid doṣo mayā dṛśyate | tasmān mā roṣaṁ kṛthāḥ | asmākaṁ pāṇḍavaiḥ saha bandhur-bhāvo 'sti | paraspara-sukha-pradāyinaḥ sauhārdena ca vayaṁ baddhāḥ | puruṣa-pravara pāṇḍavānāṁ vṛddhyā asmākam api vṛddhir bhavati iti mā krudhaḥ ||
Sañjaya nói: “Khi họ hưng thịnh thì chúng ta cũng hưng thịnh; bởi vậy, hỡi bậc trượng phu tối thượng, xin chớ nổi giận. Hỡi đấng diệt Pralamba, Balabhadra (Balarāma), trong việc này ta không thấy Bhīmasena có lỗi gì cả; vậy hãy kìm cơn thịnh nộ. Chúng ta gắn bó với các Pāṇḍava bởi tình thân huyết thống, lại còn bởi thiện ý tương giao đem niềm vui cho nhau. Hỡi bậc ưu việt, sự vươn lên của các Pāṇḍava cũng chính là sự vươn lên của chúng ta—vì thế xin đừng giận dữ.”

Educational Q&A
Anger should be restrained when it harms rightful relationships and shared welfare. Sanjaya argues ethically and pragmatically: kinship and mutual goodwill bind them to the Pandavas, and the Pandavas’ prosperity directly supports their own; therefore blaming Bhima is unjust and counterproductive.
In the Shalya Parva war setting, Sanjaya addresses Balabhadra (Balarama), urging him not to become angry at Bhimasena. He frames the issue as one of alliance and family ties with the Pandavas, emphasizing that their rise benefits their relatives and friends as well.
