प्रमुखे पाण्डुपुत्राणां तव चैव विशांपते ।
शृण्वतस्तव राजेन्द्र कौरवाणां च सर्वशः ॥ ७.१३७.४४ ॥
And in the assembly, before the sons of Pāṇḍu, while you and all the Kauravas listened, Karṇa spoke harsh words to Kṛṣṇā, O lord of men, O lord of kings.
7.137.45
विनष्टाः पाण्डवाः कृष्णे शाश्वतं नरकं गताः ।
पतिमन्यं वृणीष्वेति तस्येदं फलमागतम् ॥ ७.१३७.४५ ॥

श्रावितास्ते महात्मानः पाण्डवाः कोपयिष्णुभिः ॥ ७.१३७.४६ ॥
And your sons, wishing to provoke anger, made those great-souled Pāṇḍavas hear harsh words in the manner of learned men.

विलपंश्च बहु क्षत्ता शमं नालभत त्वयि ।
सपुत्रो भरतश्रेष्ठ तस्य भुङ्ख फलोदयम् ॥ ७.१३७.४८ ॥
Though Vidura lamented greatly, he found no peace in you. O best of the Bharatas, together with your sons, now enjoy the rising fruit of that.
7.137.49
त्वया वृध्देन धीरेण कार्यतत्त्वार्थदर्शिना ।
न कृतं सुहृदां वाक्यं दैवमत्र परायणम् ॥ ७.१३७.४९ ॥
You, aged and steady, who saw the true meaning of what had to be done, did not heed the words of your well-wishers; here fate is the highest refuge.

तन्मा शुचो नरव्याध्र तवैवापनयो महान् ।
विनाशहेतुः पुत्राणां भवानेव मतो मम ॥ ७.१३७.५० ॥
Therefore, tiger among men, do not grieve; this great error is yours alone. In my view you yourself were the cause of the destruction of your sons.

पुत्रांस्तव महाराज त्वरया ताञ्जधान ह ॥ ७.१३७.५२ ॥
Those others whom Bhīma saw come within the range of his sight, O great king, your sons, he struck down swiftly.
