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 ||
三阇耶说道：“他们兴盛，则我等亦随之兴盛；故而，至善之人啊，莫要动怒。诛普罗楞婆者、婆罗跋陀罗（巴拉罗摩）啊，此事之中，我实不见毗摩塞那有丝毫过失；所以请收敛你的忿怒。我们与般度诸子既有血亲之系，又以相互施乐的善意与友爱相维系。人中翘楚啊，般度族的兴起亦是我们的兴起——因此切莫发怒。”

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.
