Shakuni said: O descendant of Kuru, you have heard that Karna has said. His words are indeed full of wisdom. O king, why should you foolishly throw away the great prosperity that I won for you by abandoning your life today through mere silliness? It appears to me today that you never waited upon (wise) old men.
शकुनिरुवाच सम्यगुक्तं हि कर्णेन तच्छ्रुतं कौरव त्वया। मया हृतां श्रियं स्फीतां तां मोहादपहाय किम्॥ त्वमल्पबुद्ध्या नृपते प्राणानुत्स्रष्टुमर्हसि। अथवाप्यवगच्छामि न वृद्धाः सेवितास्त्वया।॥
