6.73.2

tava doṣātpurā vṛttaṃ dyūtametadviśāṃ pate |
tava doṣeṇa yuddhaṃ ca pravṛttaṃ saha pāṇḍavaiḥ |
tvamevādya phalaṃ bhuṅkṣva kṛtvā kilbiṣamātmanā || 2 ||

Sanjaya said, "Thou hast, O king, in consequence of thy own fault, been overtaken by this calamity. O bull of Bharata's race, the faults which thou, O monarch, hadst seen in that unrighteous course of conduct (towards the Pandavas), were not seen by Duryodhana. It was through thy fault, O king, that the match at dice had taken place. And it is through thy fault that this battle hath taken place with the Pandavas. Having committed a sin, do thou, therefore, reap the fruit of that sin of thine. One reapeth the fruit of acts perpetrated by one's own self. Do thou, therefore, O king, reap the fruit of thy own acts both here and hereafter. Therefore, O monarch, though overtaken by this calamity, be calm still, and listen, O sire, to the (account of the) battle as I recite it.
