अध्याय ३० — क्रोधदोषाः क्षमाप्रशंसा च
Defects of Anger and the Praise of Forbearance
द्रौपदी और भीमसेनका युधिष्ठिरसे संवाद त्वां च व्यसनमभ्यागादिदं भारत दुःसहम् । यत् त्वं नाहसि नापीमे भ्रातरस्ते महौजस:,भारत! इसी कारण तो आपपर भी यह दुःसह संकट आ गया, जिसके योग्य न तो आप हैं और न आपके महातेजस्वी ये भाई ही हैं
tvāṁ ca vyasanam abhyāgād idaṁ bhārata duḥsaham | yat tvaṁ nārhasi nāpīme bhrātaras te mahaujasāḥ ||
噢，婆罗多之后裔啊，这难以承受的灾厄也降临到你身上——你并不该受此苦，你这些雄威赫赫的兄弟亦不该受此苦。此言点出般度五子之行与其所遭苦难之间的道德失衡：逆境并非其所作所为的公正报应，而是不公的重担，唯当以坚忍之心承受。

The verse highlights the ethical tension between merit and suffering: even the righteous may face unbearable adversity. It points toward endurance and moral steadiness when misfortune is undeserved, reinforcing the Mahābhārata’s reflection on dharma under pressure.
In the forest-exile context, the speaker addresses Yudhiṣṭhira as 'Bhārata' and laments that an unbearable calamity has befallen him, despite neither him nor his powerful brothers deserving such hardship—framing the Pāṇḍavas’ plight as grievous and unjust.
