Shloka 22
यथा त्वमकरोर््यूतमिन्द्रप्रस्थं यथा55हर: । यथा<5<नैषी: सभां कृष्णां तथा युध्यस्व पाण्डवम्,दुर्योधन! जैसे तुमलोगोंने जूएका खेल किया, जिस तरह इन्द्रप्रस्थके राज्यका अपहरण किया और जिस प्रकार भरी सभामें द्रौपदीको घसीट ले गये, उसी प्रकार पाण्डुनन्दन अर्जुनसे युद्ध भी करो। [जब उन अन्यायोंके समय तुम्हें हमारे सहयोगकी आवश्यकता नहीं जान पड़ी, तब इस युद्धमें भी सहयोगकी आशा न रखो]
yathā tvam akaror dyūtam indraprasthaṁ yathāharaḥ | yathā naiṣīḥ sabhāṁ kṛṣṇāṁ tathā yudhyasva pāṇḍavam, duryodhana |
克利波说道：“正如你策划掷骰之局，正如你夺取因陀罗普拉斯塔，又正如你把黑天女（德罗帕蒂）拖入议事大殿——杜尤陀那啊，也当以同样的心气去与般度之子（阿周那）交战。你行那些不义之事时，从未觉得需要我们的援助；因此如今此战，也莫再指望我们相助。”

Educational Q&A
Kṛpa frames war as moral consequence: one who committed public injustices (cheating at dice, usurping a kingdom, humiliating Draupadī) should not expect others to share the burden now. The verse stresses accountability and the ethical cost of adharma—support and loyalty are not guaranteed to those who disregard righteousness.
In Virāṭa Parva, as conflict with the Pāṇḍavas becomes imminent, Kṛpa addresses Duryodhana sharply. He recalls Duryodhana’s earlier wrongs against the Pāṇḍavas and Draupadī and challenges him to face Arjuna himself, implying that those who engineered the injustice should bear the risk rather than rely on others’ aid.
