Shloka 28
भीष्मस्य सेनापत्यप्रतिज्ञा तथा रथसंख्यावर्णनम् | Bhishma Accepts Command and Enumerates Kaurava Strength
स त्वं कामपरीतात्मा मूढभावाच्च कत्थसे । तथैव वासुदेवस्य न गृह्नासि हितं वच:
sa tvaṁ kāmaparītātmā mūḍhabhāvāc ca katthase | tathaiva vāsudevasya na gṛhṇāsi hitaṁ vacaḥ || kiṁ cedānīṁ bahuktena yudhyasva saha bāndhavaiḥ ||
三阇耶说：然而你心为欲望所蔽，因愚迷而自夸。同样地，你连婆苏提婆（克里希那）那有益的劝诫也拒不接受。此刻再多言又有何用？来吧，与兄弟宗亲一同出战。

Educational Q&A
Desire-driven pride and delusion make a person reject even well-wishing counsel; when ethical advice is refused, conflict becomes inevitable and words lose their power.
Sanjaya reports a rebuke aimed at the obstinate party: the listener, blinded by craving and self-conceit, will not accept Kṛṣṇa’s beneficial words; therefore the speaker concludes that further persuasion is pointless and calls for battle with one’s kinsmen.
