Shloka 206
धृतराष्ट्र-सत्कारः तथा श्राद्ध-दाने नियमनम् | Honoring Dhṛtarāṣṭra and Regulating Śrāddha-Gifts
अन्वतप्यत संस्मृत्य पुत्र॑ तं मन्दचेतसम् । उनके उस बर्तावसे राजा धृतराष्ट्र सदा प्रसन्न रहते और अपने उस मन्दबुद्धि दुर्योधनको याद करके पछताया करते थे
anvatapyata saṁsmṛtya putraṁ taṁ mandacetasam |
毗耶娑门派的传述者毗舍摩波耶那说道：每当忆起那愚钝的儿子，持国王（Dhṛtarāṣṭra）便满怀悔恨。然而也正因那儿子的行止，他又常常一时欣慰——待再想起迷误的难敌（Duryodhana）时，悔意复起，显出父母之爱若盲目偏纵，终要付出道德的代价。

Unchecked attachment—especially a parent’s indulgence toward a morally misguided child—can cloud judgment and lead to lasting remorse. Pleasure taken in wrongful conduct eventually turns into grief when its consequences are remembered.
Vaiśaṁpāyana describes Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s inner conflict: he recalls his son Duryodhana and feels repentance, even though he had often been pleased by that son’s behavior. The verse highlights Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s oscillation between satisfaction and regret.
