Mahabharata — Anushasana Parva, Shloka 40
रक्ष्याश्न ते पाण्डवेया भवान् येषां परायणम् | उक्तवानस्मि दुर्बुद्धिं मन््द दुर्योधनं तदा
rakṣyāśna te pāṇḍaveyā bhavān yeṣāṁ parāyaṇam | uktavān asmi durbuddhiṁ manda duryodhanaṁ tadā
毗湿摩说道：“你当由那些般度诸王子护持——对他们而言，你是至上的归依。那时我已对愚钝的难敌（杜尤陀那）说过话，告诫并教诲过他。”

Educational Q&A
One should recognize rightful protectors and take refuge in the virtuous; ignoring wise counsel and persisting in misguided intellect (durbuddhi) leads to ruin. Bhīṣma underscores the ethical duty of protection and the tragedy of advice rejected.
Bhīṣma recalls that he had previously admonished Duryodhana, describing him as dull-witted and misguided. He also states that the Pāṇḍavas are the ones who ought to protect the addressed person, since that person is their chief refuge—framing the Pāṇḍavas as dharmic guardians in the situation.
