अक्रूर उवाच
भो भो वैचित्रवीर्य त्वं कुरूणां कीर्तिवर्धन ।
भ्रातर्युपरते पाण्डावधुनासनमास्थित: ॥ १७ ॥

शब्दार्थ

akrūraḥ uvāca — Akrūra said; bhoḥ bhoḥ — O my dear, my dear; vaicitravīrya — son of Vicitravīrya; tvam — you; kurūṇām — of the Kurus; kīrti — the glory; vardhana — O you who increase; bhrātari — your brother; uparate — having passed away; pāṇḍau — Mahārāja Pāṇḍu; adhunā — now; āsanam — the throne; āsthitaḥ — have assumed.

भाषांतर

Akrūra said: O my dear son of Vicitravīrya, O enhancer of the Kurus’ glory, your brother Pāṇḍu having passed away, you have now assumed the royal throne.

तात्पर्य

Akrūra was speaking ironically, since the young sons of Pāṇḍu should actually have been occupying the throne. Upon the death of Pāṇḍu, they were too young to immediately govern and so were put in Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s care, but now sufficient time had passed, and their legitimate rights should have been recognized.
