Sanjaya said Through your won wickedness, O monarch, have you been overwhelmed with this calamity. Those faults, O foremost of the Bharatas, in that sinful conduct towards the Pandavas of which you were cognizant, O king, were not descried by Duryodhana. It was through your fault, O ruler of men, that the game at dice was played in days past.
संजय उवाच आत्मदोषात् राजन् प्राप्तं व्यसनमीदृशम्। न हि दुर्योधनस्तानि पश्यते भरतर्षभ।॥ यानि त्वं दृष्टवान् राजन् धर्मसंकरकारिते। तव दोषात् पुरा वृत्तं द्यूतमेव विशाम्पते॥
