2.80.1
त्वं वै ज्येष्ठो ज्यैष्ठिनेयः पुत्र मा पाण्डवान्द्विषः ।
द्वेषा ह्यसुखमादत्ते यथैव निघनं तथा ॥ २.८०.१ ॥
You are the eldest's eldest son, my son; do not hate the Pāṇḍavas. Hatred brings unhappiness, and just so, it brings destruction.
2.80.2
अव्युत्पन्नं समानार्थं तुल्यमित्रं युधिष्ठिरम् ।
अद्विषन्तं कथं द्विष्यात्त्वादृशो भरतर्षभ ॥ २.८०.२ ॥
How could one like you hate Yudhiṣṭhira — who is of good conduct, of equal purpose, a friend equal to all — when he does not hate you, O bull of the Bharatas?
2.80.3
तुल्याभिजनवीर्यश्च कथं भ्रातुः श्रियं नृप ।
पुत्र कामयसे मोहान्मैवं भूः शाम्य मा शुचः ॥ २.८०.३ ॥
How, O king, do you desire the prosperity of a brother equal in lineage and valor? My son, do not become like this out of delusion. Be calm, do not grieve.
2.80.4
अथ यज्ञविभूतिं तां काङ्क्षसे भरतर्षभ ।
ऋत्विजस्तव तन्वन्तु सप्ततन्तुं महाध्वरम् ॥ २.८०.४ ॥
Now, O bull of the Bharatas, if you desire that splendor of sacrifice, let your priests perform the great sacrifice called Saptatantu, the seven-stranded one.
2.80.5
आहरिष्यन्ति राजानस्तवापि विपुलं धनम् ।
प्रीत्या च बहुमानाच्च रत्नान्याभरणानि च ॥ २.८०.५ ॥
Kings will bring you abundant wealth as well, gems and ornaments too, out of affection and great honor.
2.80.6
अनार्याचरितं तात परस्वस्पृहणं भृशम् ।
स्वसन्तुष्टः स्वधर्मस्थो यः स वै सुखमेधते ॥ २.८०.६ ॥
Dear son, to crave greatly another's wealth is conduct unworthy of noble men. He who is content in himself and steadfast in his own dharma indeed flourishes in happiness.
2.80.7
मही कामदुघा सा हि वीरपत्नीति चोच्यते ।
तथा वीरस्य भार्या श्रीस्ते इमे हि कलत्रवत् ॥ २.८०.७ ॥
This earth is the wish-giving cow, and she is called the wife of heroes. Likewise the hero's wife is Śrī; both of these are like wives to you.
2.80.8
तवाप्यस्ति हे चेद्वीर्यं भोक्ष्यसे हि महीमिमाम् ॥ २.८०.८ ॥
If you too have valour, then you will enjoy this earth.
2.80.9
अयुक्तमिदमेतत्तु परस्वहरणं भृशम् ।
उभयोर्लोकयोर्दुःखं सुहृदां काङ्क्षतोऽनयम् ॥ २.८०.९ ॥
To seize another's wealth is utterly improper; it brings sorrow in both worlds, and for one who wishes ill to his friends it is injustice.
2.80.10
अव्यापारः परार्तेषु नित्योद्योगः स्वकर्मसु ।
रक्षणं समुपात्तानामेतद्वैभवलक्षणम् ॥ २.८०.१० ॥
Not meddling in others' distress, constant effort in one's own duties, and guarding what has been acquired — this is the mark of prosperity.
2.80.11
विपत्तिष्वव्यथो दक्षो नित्यमुत्थानवान्नरः ।
अप्रमत्तो विनीतात्मा नित्यं भद्राणि पश्यति ॥ २.८०.११ ॥
The man who is undisturbed in calamities, able, always diligent, vigilant and self-controlled always sees good things.
2.80.12
बाहूनिवैतान्मा च्छेत्सीः पाण्डुपुत्रास्तथैव ते ।
भ्रातृणां तद्धनार्थं वै मित्रद्रोहं च मा कुरु ॥ २.८०.१२ ॥
Do not cut off your own arms; the sons of Pāṇḍu are likewise your arms. Do not commit treachery against a friend for the sake of your brothers' wealth.
2.80.13
पाण्डोः पुत्रान्मा द्विषस्वेह राजं-
स्तथैव ते भ्रातृधनं समग्रम्।
मित्रद्रोहे तात महानघर्मः ।
पितामहा ये तव तेऽपि तेषाम् ॥ २.८०.१३ ॥
O king, do not hate the sons of Pāṇḍu here, nor seize the entire wealth of your brothers. Dear son, betraying a friend is a great unrighteousness; your grandfathers were also their forefathers.
2.80.14
अन्तर्वेद्यां ददद्वित्तं कामाननुभवन्प्रियान् ।
क्रीडन्स्त्रीभिर्निरातङ्कः प्रशाम्य भरतर्षभ ॥ २.८०.१४ ॥
Giving wealth within the sacrificial enclosure, enjoying cherished pleasures, playing fearlessly with women, and grown calm, O bull of the Bharatas.
