It is proper that you should reproach your own self in as much as you neglected to protect yourself (when trying to injure another).

English: Then Dhananjaya otherwise called Phalguna, that son of Pandu unable to tolerate your sons speaking in that strain as also to put up with their words and the words of Bhurisravas, O Bharata, in sorrows and not at all angry, spoke these words, as if for remaining them all.
