Shloka 15
धृतराष्ट्रस्य पाण्डवेषु प्रीति-वृत्तान्तः | Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s Affectionate Disposition toward the Pāṇḍavas
राज्ञस्तु चित्त रक्षन्तौ नोचतु: किंचिदप्रियम् । धर्मके ज्ञाता माद्रीपुत्र नकुल-सहदेव सदा राजा धृतराष्ट्रके मनो$नुकूल ही बर्ताव करते थे। वे उनका मन रखते हुए कभी कोई अप्रिय बात नहीं कहते थे ।।
rājñas tu cittaṃ rakṣantau nocatuḥ kiñcid apriyam | dharmake jñātā mādrīputrau nakula-sahadevau sadā rājā dhṛtarāṣṭrasya mano'nukūlam eva vyavaharataḥ sma | tau tasya manaḥ rakṣantau kadācid api nāpriyaṃ vacanam ūcatuḥ || tataḥ samānayāmāsa dhṛtarāṣṭraḥ suhṛjjanam ||
毗湿摩波耶那说道：摩德丽之子那俱罗与娑诃提婆，通晓法（dharma），常以能令持国王（Dhṛtarāṣṭra）欢心之道行事；他们护持他的情绪，从不对他说一句尖刻或逆耳之言。随后，持国王召集了他那群怀善意的亲友。

Educational Q&A
Ethical restraint in speech and considerate conduct are forms of dharma: Nakula and Sahadeva protect an elder’s mind by avoiding hurtful words and by acting in ways that maintain harmony.
In the forest-life setting of the Āśramavāsika episode, Nakula and Sahadeva continue to attend upon Dhṛtarāṣṭra with tact and gentleness; immediately after, Dhṛtarāṣṭra calls together his well-wishing associates.
