Vāsudeva said.
dvividho jāyate vyādhiḥ śārīro mānasas tathā। parasparaṃ tayor janma nirdvandvaṃ nopalabhyate ॥14-12-1॥
Disease arises in two forms: bodily and mental. The origin of each is related to the other, and a state entirely free from both is not found. (14-12-1)
śarīre jāyate vyādhiḥ śārīro nātra saṁśayaḥ। mānaso jāyate vyādhirmanasyeveti niścayaḥ॥14-12-2॥
Disease arises in the body—of the body, there is no doubt. Mental disease arises in the mind alone; this is certain. (14-12-2)
śītoṣṇe caiva vāyuśca guṇā rājañśarīrajāḥ। teṣāṃ guṇānāṃ sāṃyaṃ cettadahūḥ svasthalakṣaṇam ॥ uṣṇena bādhyate śītaṃ śītenoṣṇaṃ ca bādhyate ॥14-12-3॥
O king, cold, heat, and wind are bodily qualities; equilibrium of these qualities is said to be the characteristic of health. Cold is disturbed by heat, and heat is disturbed by cold. (14-12-3)
sattvaṃ rajastamaś ceti trayas tv ātmaguṇāḥ smṛtāḥ। teṣāṃ guṇānāṃ sāmyam cet tad āhuḥ svasthalakṣaṇam ॥ teṣām anyatamotseke vidhānam upadiśyate ॥14-12-4॥
Sattva, rajas, and tamas are considered the three natural qualities. The equilibrium of these qualities is said to be the sign of health. If there is an increase of any one among them, the appropriate procedure is prescribed. (14-12-4)
harṣeṇa bādhyate śoko harṣaḥ śokena bādhyate। kaścid duḥkhe vartamānaḥ sukhasya smartum icchati॥ kaścit sukhe vartamānaḥ duḥkhasya smartum icchati॥14-12-5॥
Sorrow is troubled by joy, and joy is troubled by sorrow. One who is experiencing misery desires to remember happiness, and one who is experiencing happiness desires to remember misery. (14-12-5)
sa tvaṁ na duḥkhī duḥkhasya na sukhī susukhāsya vā. smartum icchasi kaunteya diṣṭaṁ hi balavattaram ॥14-12-6॥
You are not distressed by sorrow, nor happy even in great happiness. You wish to remember, O son of Kunti, but fate is truly more powerful. (14-12-6)
atha vā te svabhāvo'yaṃ yena pārthāvakṛṣyase। dṛṣṭvā sabhāgatāṃ kṛṣṇāmekavastrāṃ rajasvalām ॥ miṣatāṃ pāṇḍaveyānāṃ na tatsaṃsmartumicchasi ॥14-12-7॥
Or perhaps this is your nature, by which you drag down the Pāṇḍavas; having seen Draupadī come into the assembly, wearing a single garment and menstruating, witnessed by the sons of Pāṇḍu, that you do not wish to remember. (14-12-7)
pravrājanaṃ ca nagarād ajinaiś ca vivāsanam. mahāraṇya-nivāsaś ca na tasya smartum icchasi ॥14-12-8॥

You do not wish to remember the affliction from Jaṭāsura, the battle with Citrasena, and the affliction from Saindhava. (14-12-9)
punarajñātacaryāyāṃ kīcakena padā vadhaḥ। yājñasenyāstadā pārtha na tasya smartumicchasi ॥14-12-10॥
O Pārtha, you do not wish to remember how, during the subsequent period of incognito, Draupadī was slain by Kīcaka with his foot. (14-12-10)
yacca te droṇabhīṣmābhyāṃ yuddham āsīdarindama। manasaikena yoddhavyaṃ tat te yuddham upasthitam॥ tasmād abhyupagantavyaṃ yuddhāya bharatarṣabha॥14-12-11॥
The battle you once fought with Droṇa and Bhīṣma with your mind alone, O conqueror of foes, that very battle has now come upon you. Therefore, you must face this fight, O best of the Bhāratas. (14-12-11)
paramavyaktarūpasya paraṃ muktvā svakarmabhiḥ। yatra naiva śaraiḥ kāryaṃ na bhṛtyairna ca bandhubhiḥ॥ ātmanaikena yoddhavyaṃ tatte yuddhamupasthitam॥14-12-12॥
The battle that has now come to you is one to be fought by you alone, having set aside all else, for it is not to be waged with arrows, nor with servants or kinsmen, but must be fought solely by yourself. (14-12-12)
tasminn anirjite yuddhe kāmavasthāṁ gamiṣyasi. etaj jñātvā tu kaunteya kṛtakṛtyo bhaviṣyasi ॥14-12-13॥
If that battle is not won, you will fall into a state of desire; but knowing this, O son of Kunti, you will fulfill your duty. (14-12-13)
